First top 5 US universities you think of

Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Brown
Columbia

(Not in any order)

Awww thank you! Wooo, Loving Doctor Who (The David Tennant one obvs) and Torchwood!

Havard, Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, Stanford.

Does nobody rate Dartmouth?

First, the holy trinity; Harvard, Yale and Princeton followed by MIT and Columbia. I don't know why people put Brown up here, it certainly does not measure up to MIT and Columbia's status as a respectable American university.

=Anyways, Dartmouth is a really good school (despite its Frat culture which I don't personally like), it has a much more relaxed atmosphere but still maintains some world-class teaching/faculty.

But, would you say it's a top 5 school?

I wouldn't say its Top 5 no, but its likes saying do you think Imperial/UCL/LSE etc are not top schools? They all may not be in the Top 3 (I've chosen 3 and not 5 b/c the UK really doesn't have as many top universities as say the US), but does that make them poor universities?

For example, the Top 3 could be Oxbridge and LSE, but then anyone who says Imperial is not good b/c of that it quite rightly foolish to say the least….

Yeah, I agree. It's just that I am surprised people naming the likes of Dartmouth, Brown, UC colleges etc in the Top 5. I wouldn't really put LSE and Imperial on top 5 due to their speciality, although MIT is science oriented it has a much more diverse subject list than those two.
