Ranking is funny

Yes, ranking is funny. See the following:

Newsweek Top 100 Global Universities:
27. University of Texas at Austin

The Top 100 Global Universities - Newsweek: International Editions

And at the same time...

U of Texas-Austin tops party school list

BTW, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is number 60 in the newseek list.

Different sources seem to produce very different and sometimes conflicting rankings. The editors never disclose the metrics they use in their evaluation process so I highly doubt the credibility of their numbers.

Yes, ranking cannot be fully trusted.

The good thing is that at least the school is being discussed. :)

University of London is not in the list, why? It is suppose to be best 50... no?
