TOP 500 UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD

Was absent for awhile and failed to post anything in here.Well,I took this article from another blog because it sounds so very interesting,I guess, specially Philippines 5 Top Universities included in the lists.Too bad, my school didn't come out on the list.

Top 500 Universities in the World

Four schools in the Philippines are among the Top 500 Universities in the World.
The research and study was undertaken by Times Higher Education Supplement-
Quacquarelli Symonds (THES-QS) World University Rankings.

The top 500 universities were chosen from among 15,000 educational institutions
worldwide. To be part of this elite list of universities, the institution has to meet
several stringent criteria, including faculty-to-student ratios and ratings given by
more than 3,000 academicians & 700 leading international employment recruiters.
The University of the Philippines (UP) was the highest ranked local
school with a global ranking of 299 and 47th among Asian universities. Behind
UP in the list are three private universities:

De La Salle (392nd),
Ateneo de Manila (484th), and the
University of Santo Tomas at 500th.

Meanwhile, the top 20 leading universities in the world are the following:
Harvard (1st), Cambridge (2nd), Oxford (3rd), Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and Yale (tying for 4th), Stanford (6th), California Institute of
Technology (7th), University of California in Berkeley (8th), Imperial
College London (9th), Princeton (10th), University of Chicago (11th),
Columbia (12th), Duke (13th), Beijing University (14th), Cornell (15th),
Australian National University (16th), London School of Economics (17th),
Ecole Normale Superieure (18th), National University of Singapore and
Tokyo University (tying for 19th).

Many of the top universities are American and British, but there are
sprinkles of representation from Australia, France, China, Singapore
and Japan. Most of the leading American universities are private; in
fact, on that top 20 list, the University of California Berkeley is the only
American public institution.

Among the leading Asia-Pacific universities on the THES-QS list of the
world's 500 leading universities, 90 are from Asia. Japan leads with 28,
followed by China (including Hong Kong) with 16, Taiwan with 8, South
Korea and Thailand with 7 each, Malaysia, Indonesia & the Philippines
with 4 each, Australia with 3, Singapore with 2 and Bangladesh with one.

GREENBELT & GLORIETTA....A PLACE FOR PROMENADING OF STATELINESS & POMPOSITY

Before I hit going west of Subic; Michael, Aldwin & I were at the fave rendezvous of the higher strata in Manila.
Where else should we chill out during Christmas? Greenbelt and Glorietta are the places to be.
These are the malls that I love to stay on weekends instantaneously.
You can simply bump into some celebrities unknowingly, specifically in Greenbelt.
I really have no plans of going there for some reasons that I was totally dead (to) broke that time.
Thanks to Mike, a dear pal who has the great accumulations of all.
Everything was paid by Michael and so with the idea of watching the Christmas carols.The saunter was leisurely enjoying yet exhausted in the end.
Nevertheless, I could not have more the ideas how Greenbelt was improved and truly world class destination.
Greenbelt wasn't beautiful as stately frivolously as it is today.
Grandeur stores and expensive boutiques to mention were usual to be found in Greenbelt.
If you were just a relatively low in rank, you could not find a store that is within your reach.
Your budget will directly lead you to the place where the multitude has in store, SM.
But if your intentions is just a leisurely walk, hit out for Makati and ended to contemptible food chains around to define your budget.
Moreover, no matter how costly Makati is, it never restrains the small Filipinos of going there. DO they choose the kind of mall rats? I don't think so, as long as you follow the dress code of the place you wish to be.
