What non-US/UK university would you go to?

If you could pick any university in the world (outside of the US and UK) which one would you choose and why?

McGill or NUS I suppose (hurrah Anglophone countries!). In the event that Scotland secedes from the UK, I'll say St. Andrew's

(NUS = National University of Singapore)

Interesting how only 4 countries have been mentioned so far...nice try with Scotland, but it's part of the UK I suppose it makes sense since Canada, Australia, Singapore, and Ireland all contain some of the best universities outside of the US/UK. I would probably opt for a uni in Australia or Canada too. If I spoke/wrote/read Japanese then Japan would be a place I'd consider. On a side note: what is everyone's nationality?

Jacobs University in Bremen. But only because its teaching language is English.
Or a couple of universities in the netherlands.
But I so do not want to study at a German University

The Anglophone world dominates (or in academic parlance, "pwns") in terms of academia. Just look at how much is published in English...it's become the lingua franca of academia
