Please check Shanghai JTU’s rew ranking out, which ranks Berkeley #3 in the world. Those chinese scholars used all objective data. One can argue that, that ranking is more into research than undergraduate education.



Nobody disputes that Berkeley is a research powerhouse that is stellar if you want to get a PhD.

But the fact is, the vast majority of Berkeley’s undergrads will not become future researchers. Hence, Berkeley’s vaunted research acumen doesn’t do them much good.



Then why don’t we do a semi-research universities/LACs ranking for schools like Dartmouth, Brown, or something like that since they are not research-oriented universities?



Good idea. Why don’t we?
