The other link you suggest, is not working for me!!
Oh come on, this is ridiculous. There are 11 Dutch universities in there (out of 16), but only 10 German universities (out of 383) and 4 French universities (out of at least 85)?
Might be ridiculous, might not. French general universities are cookie cutter, they're al meant to be more or less equivalent. The Grande Écoles focus on one specific subject, so they get hammered on rankings, but they are all excellent in their fields. There are no great German universities, full stop, for the same reason as in France, and tehy don't have a GE equivalent. There are some departments in some universities that are world class, Karlsruhe in CS, Saarbrucken in Computational Linguistics.
Man, UofT (where I go) would be way the hell up there if the people that went here actually liked going here. I'm a Math Specialist and Computer Science major and I love it.
Yeah, no school spirit, and how does U of T lose marks on international students? I don't really see how the student population could be more diverse.
