Top Universities in the World
Have you ever wondered where most of the top universities in the world are located?
UK? Nope.
Switzerland? Nope again.
Canada? I'm sure you can do better.
It's US - United States of America. According to a survey in 2006 by Newsweek, the TOP 5 universities are from US (in descending order):
Out of the TOP 10, US universities comprises 80%.
Out of the TOP 20, US universities comprises 75%.
Out of the TOP 30, US universities comprises 70%.
And out of the TOP 50 universities, US universities make up 58%, that's more than half of all the TOP 50 universities in the world.
The next best nations are UK (7 universities in the TOP 50), Switzerland (5) and Canada (3).
The best Asian university in the TOP 50 is Tokyo University (ranked #16).
National University of Singapore (NUS) is ranked #36.
Malaysia has no universities ranked in the TOP 50 (as if this is something new).
Conclusion? US is definitely a good choice for education.
You might ask, what about quality of living? Ahhh... I'm prepared for that.
According to the Mercer HR Consulting Worldwide Quality of Living Survey, 2007, US cities comprises 16% (8 cities) out of the TOP 50, namely:
US "happens" to have the most cities in the TOP 50.
Of course, the BEST city for QUALITY LIVING in the world, unchanged for many years, is Zurich, Switzerland, followed by Geneva, also in Switzerland, and Vancouver, Canada.
Interestingly, Singapore is ranked 34th best country for quality living. Of course, Malaysia... TAK DAK!
But what about Health and Sanitation Ranking??? Ahhh...
Quite interestingly, Zurich and Geneva is not at the top anymore, ranking #6 and #10 respectively. At the top is Calgary, Canada, followed by Honolulu, Hawaii and Helsinki, Finland.
US cities make up 24% of the TOP 50 for Health and Sanitation, not surprisingly, of course, and easily the country with the most cities in the TOP 50.
Some research huh? Heheheh... back to work now...
