I dont put much importance in the rankings within Canada because frankly after you get past U of T and UBC there is a pretty big drop off.   For example in the most recent rankings U of T was ranked 21 in the world and UBC was 30.  U of A came in around the 120s as I recall.

I thought McGill was competitive too?

McGill is one spot below UBC, at #33 in the reputation rankings. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2014/reputation-ranking

It generally is.  But imo their high rankings are more a matter of resting on past glory.  University funding in that Province has been broken for some time now.  I am a bit surprised the results havent shown up in the rankings.

I liked how Texas A&M is ranked ahead of Brown. The list is clearly geared towards research universities since schools like Amherst aren't ranked, at least not in the top 100.

It is world "reputation," so, yeah, the research universities are going to dominate.

I hadn't scrolled down far enough to see UDub, but you are right!  :P

You don't need to do any scrolling to see Michigan. :showoff:

Apparently she moved back in with her parents.

I bet that is not awkward at all.

They truly are the worst parents and pursued a horrible course of action.
