1, Oxford University
I was not interested in America before, and I was not interested in American universities.
Oxford and Cambridge are two world famous universities that I first heard about. In the list of The Times in recent years, Oxford University has been ranked first for three consecutive years (it is said that it was the first in California Institute of Technology in previous years).
I want to talk about school education. I once knew a doctor who graduated from Oxford University, which left a deep impression on me and made me know for the first time that that gentle and modest gentleman really existed.
It reflects the gentlemanly demeanor of the British, but the low-key makes people who associate with him feel like a spring breeze. There is also a pure British English, which feels better than American English.

When it comes to Oxford University, one has to mention his rival, Cambridge University.
Having an equal opponent is a very romantic thing, because it can motivate you to make continuous progress.
Cambridge University is the second oldest university in the English-speaking world. It was founded by several teachers who ran away from Oxford.
Hawking, the most famous scientist in the history of modern physics, also studied at Cambridge University.
Cambridge University is famous for its philosophy, law and literature. I think physics and astronomy are the best, and a lot of talents have been produced. Of course, all talents are geniuses for such a difficult subject as physics.
3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology

I found that quite a few famous universities in the United States and Britain still retain the name of a certain college. Unlike universities in China, when the time is ripe, they must take off their college hats and change to a certain university, and the prefix often changes from cities to provinces or even eastern and central China. After the name change, a rising tide lifts all boats, and the admission score has achieved a leap.
MIT has occupied the first place in QS World University for several years in a row.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology is famous for its top engineering and computer science. Some people say that engineering in Massachusetts is the strongest among universities in the world.
The engineering department of MIT is the most famous department with the largest number of applicants and the most "difficult to read". Won the American postgraduate course championship for seven consecutive years, among which electronic engineering is the most famous, followed by mechanical engineering.
4. Harvard University
4. Harvard University
Harvard University, as a person who has never been abroad, is the school I have heard the most about in recent years.
In particular, a book called Liu Yiting, a Harvard Girl, set off a Harvard craze, and then many such boys and girls came out one after another.
This world-renowned university has produced eight American presidents, 157 Nobel Prize winners (the world's first), 18 Fields Prize winners (the world's first) and 14 Turing Prize winners (the world's fourth). In recent years, Harvard University ranks first in the ranking of American world universities.
Harvard's business is very powerful, far exceeding other schools, so there are many rich people.
Well, what impressed me most about Harvard recently is that everyone is good at it. Although he graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree and Harvard University with a master's degree, some people even think that he has failed somewhat, and Harvard University's is not so miserable. As can be seen from the following plot, eldest brother has the ability to work, but he has not done well in the workplace, leading to unemployment.
5. Stanford University

* * * 83 Stanford alumni, professors and researchers have won the Nobel Prize, ranking seventh in the world; 27 have won the Turing Award (the highest award in the computer field), ranking first in the world.
Stanford University has laid a solid foundation for the formation and rise of Silicon Valley, and trained leaders of many high-tech companies, including founders of Hewlett-Packard, Google, Yahoo, Nike, Logitech, Snapchat, Cisco and LinkedIn. Among the schools with the largest number of billionaires published by Forbes, Stanford ranks second and Harvard ranks first.
Stanford's computer major is tied with Massachusetts for the first place, which also has a geographical advantage for those who want to study computer major.
6. California Institute of Technology
6. California Institute of Technology
Small and exquisite, suitable for academic school. The school enrolls about 300 undergraduates every year, and there are only about 2000 students in the whole school, so sometimes I feel that there is no one in the school. There are 38 professors or alumni who have won the Nobel Prize (including 22 alumni), and 73 related people, including researchers, have won the Nobel Prize, with 1 person per thousand graduates winning the prize, ranking first in the world in terms of per capita awards.
Similar to China University of Science and Technology, science and engineering are not bad, but liberal arts are weak.
Its dominant disciplines include physics, chemistry, astronomy and space science.
The campus area is not large, and it only takes about 10 minutes to walk between the farthest two buildings.
7. The universities behind are somewhat controversial and all have the strength to enter the top ten.

Different people have different views on who is in the top ten. The authoritative list is unclear and can't be unified, not to mention us outsiders.
No matter which school you go to, you should feel proud and show off.
