The US, and, to a lesser extent, the UK, dominate the list, but Australia continues to have a strong showing, and China makes more appearances. If you don't like that list, try Newsweek's <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14321230/site/newsweek/">Top 100 Global Universities</a>, or the <a href="http://eginstitute.eu/html/best_universities.html">ranking</a> by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, which looks at Nobel Prizes and highly cited articles, or just judge universities by their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_universities_in_continuous_operation">age</a>. </small> All of this a little too global? Washington Monthly <a href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0609.collegechart.html">rates universities</a> by how they contribute to social mobility and the US as a whole, Mother Jones <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/news/outfront/2006/09/extra_credit.html">ranks by social activism</a>, and Young America's Foundation lists the <a href="http://media.yaf.org/latest/2005_2006_top_ten.cfm">10 best conservative colleges</a>. <small>[<a href="http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/45755">prev</a>.]</small> tag:metafilter.com,2006:site.55640 Wed, 18 Oct 2006 22:42:34 -0800 motherjones newsweek topuniversities washingtonmonthly blahblahblah
