Something dont seem right about this list i mean

whats Oxford and Cambridge doin behind MIT and why the hell is Stanford and Yale all the way at the bottom??

 

I might not be correct but from what ive heard uni rankings are all based on how much money is spent on research and so Harvard spends the most on it.

 

Either way i think saying u graduated from Oxford or Cambridge sounds a little more prestigious then saying MIT or CIT or whateva was up there.

 

But then again im only from Australia so i have no idea how big MIT is.. The only time i eva heard of that place was in college basketball games. Which reminds me where the hell is Duke Uni?
