It is true that all the ranking systems use different factors for building their university ranking. When I was researching which universities are the best, I noticed that it really depends who you ask.
Therefore, if anyone wants to find a good university, they should first think about the factors that are important to them, and then find the ranking system that features these factors.
To make this easier, i started collecting university and college rankings on my blog http://thebestuniversity.blogspot.com .
Here, visitors can see which factors for ranking the different organizations use.
I would like your comment, or maybe you know new rankings that I should feature on The Best University blog.
