Not really, a lot of their rankings are based on endowment size, not academics...

 

[963BUSC]

I find this list dubious as well.

I prefer these to US News. I believe research id a much bigger factor in this one

I'm just going to pretend that "Columbia University" means USC.

Which is a good thing, why? Most of that research is pretty disconnected from students.

yeah but arwu is the better research ranking system

Top 20, not bad.

The thing about that one is they seem to rank the university undergrad separate from the grad schools where as I think ones like this rank them as a whole; which is why ND ranks 90th.

jebus...I couldn't find Clemson on the list at all - out of 400? dang.

I quit looking when I hit 200. Just figured the list was garbage.

Don't really care, but Vanderbilt at 88. Don't think so. All depends on the methodology that is used. Here:

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2013-2014 are the only global university performance tables to judge research-led universities across all their core missions - teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook.

speaking of international outlook...

This small datum might play a role in Michigan State's favor: Today its study-abroad program is the largest of any single-campus university in the country, offering more than 200 programs in more than 60 countries on all continents including Antarctica.

if it makes you feel any better, I gotta give Athens a hands-down world ranking of #1 for being the origin of successful bands (B-52s, DBTruckers, Widespread Panic, R.E.M., etc), Leonard Postero and, especially the DAMN! Show.

"Blind Date with a Crack Whore" (starring Propecia Jones) is my favorite.

Hell yeah!! I'm always talking about that old show. We would listen to that every Saturday on the way to the game. It was part of our 3 hour ride and I looked forward to it every time. It was part of my football "experience" as a kid. "Leonard's loser, the Orangemen." (I couldn't come up with anything catchy)

Leonard was a first-class trip. I used to manage a NY ad agency's office in ATL in the 1980s...met and et with guys like Postero and Hosea Williams (ATL's version of Al Sharpton ) on the regular. I loved Leonard and his Losers...sweet ol silly dawg.
