I was expecting to see some spam article with London Met, but no, a surprisingly good article.

I'll contribute to the internationalness of whichever uni I go to so it's extremely relevant for me

Good to see Imperial topping a UK uni table for a change!
It is surprising none of the "well known" US universities are in the top 20, perhaps especially Harvard. But QS agrees with only MIT and Caltech being "well known" in their Top 10 US Universities with the Most International Students:

"most international universities"
who cares
Btw there's a discrepancy between the article and the actual table. Cambridge is eighth, and UCL is ninth.

Just testing
That's all edited and correct, thank you

Honestly I am not particularly surprised that some Harvard isn't in the top 20, just because of their recent admissions policies and their tendency to accept more homegrown students for their diversity quotas rather than international students. (Anecdotal of course)

Seems to be having an affect... (actually I don't know that, we'd need to check against prior years).

If I can find the statistics I'll look out for it but American unis especially private ones have never been the most transparent with admissions data.

Columbia?

Where?
I'd say the only Ivies known outside the US are Harvard and Yale. And maybe Princeton. And yeah none of them are in that QS top 10.

Ooh That's controversial
That's probably true but I feel like Columbia is pretty well known outside of the US as well especially in Asia.

Really misleading headline, this isn't an overall ranking, moreover just a universities' international friendliness.
Original post by JohnGreek
Lol Columbia's pretty well known outside the US, particularly its Law School.
Amongst lawyers.
Now try asking some ordinary folks to name American universities.
