Harvard, Final Clubs, Facebook and first again

March 2012

Just the other night I watched The Social Network and reacquainted myself with the final clubs – remember Zuckerberg’s fascination with Final Clubs - his best friend Eduardo getting punched by the Phoenix. And, how about a Final Club fraternity awaiting a bus load of girls from another college to arrive for a party.

But of course we know Harvard is much much more than that. This year, Harvard University again topped a list of universities in terms of global prestige according to the World Reputation Rankings, published by the London-based Times Higher Education magazine.

Among the findings was the widening gap between the top six "global super elite" and all the others. The top 6 are listed below.

1. Harvard University U.S.

2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology U.S.

3. University of Cambridge U.K.

4. Stanford University U.S.

5. University of California, Berkeley U.S.

6. University of Oxford U.K.


Some Australian University rankings

43. University of Melbourne

44. Australian National University

50. The University of Sydney
