Different ranking tables.. which one to believe?
There are so many rankings tables on the internet.. each saying different things. Such as the 'guardian' and the 'times'.
Which one should I use?
Im looking at civil engineering uni's btw..

I don't think you have to pay for the Times one, I just signed up for free and now I can see the tables... I think? Certainly don't remember handing any money over 
Personally, I think the Times one is pretty good, but plenty of people use the link posted above. To be honest the Guardian's table is pretty poor in my opinion, but by all means have a look at as many as you like

I don't know how long is it since you've registered, but make sure to take some screenshots if you want to remember where are your unis ranked.

Ooh, thanks for the tip. Pretty sneaky to be honest. I bought the University guide book from them though (in fact, my parents did), so no need for screenshots

I like to use this one. You have to pay if you want to see the Times University Guide same as the Sunday Times University Guide. Generally, the Times are considered to be a bit better, because Guardian is just too much 'satisfaction based'.
someone likes that site? i hate it so much.

For civil engineering you shouldn't bother with them as they're a load of crap.

well firstly for the civil engineering course, when searched most of the results are chemical or other sorts of engineering, not civil
a point that also really annoys me is that when searched its sorted alphabetically, which is utterly ****ing useless, and when u click the column title, i obviously dont want a ****ing glossary term explaining it, why cant it be normal and just sort it when clicked (i know the little arrow does it instead here)
ok so maybe im already annoyed but this site really didnt help :P
You should use them as a rough guide only- you don't always know what exactly they take into account to make the rankings. You have to firstly whittle them down with regards to which does your course, how far you want to move from home, module choices etc, and then try looking at reviews and rankings. But don't rule institutions out based on rankings alone, you might be missing out on what could be a really enjoyable time.

Wow, you really hate them. However, you're right at this point, because when I put marketing in it won't always find what I'm looking for - it shows business and management or something similar. Oh, and if you want to sort them alphabetically, you have to click that white arrow thingy, not the text.
