As the 2018 school year comes to a close, people around the world are looking ahead to 2019 and this means new college rankings.
Every year, college students and college grads alike pore over college rankings to see where their schools landed. These rankings attempt to highlight universities that do an excellent job of educating students and producing ground-breaking research.
UK-based higher education analytics company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) analyzed data from 1,000 of the world's best universities and found that while American institutions continue to dominate, there are several schools beyond the U.S. that crack the top 10 universities in the world.
Here are the 10 best universities in the world for 2019:

I went to a little place called, F.U.
I would like to see the list by major area of study.
What, no Osmania? No JNTU?
I got accepted at a school that is probably Top 25.
At the time tuition was $13K per year. I had won a $1K scholarship.
My dad said “That’s nice son. Now, where is the other $12K coming from?”
As you probably guessed, I did not go there.
1990’s it was. Knew several people from Caltech.
UCL is an overrated bureaucratic institution.
The best one is still Time in Life University.
Back in the day, it was too hard to get to and from Israel from California, so it wasn’t even considered.
Direct flights from all over the east coast.
True, but it is a great school.
The liberals (even now) have not infested the engineering school. The math is too hard. Can’t opine about the rest.
Gee, that’s kind of odd. None are in Saudi Arabia, Iran, Lebanon, the UAE, Egypt, any part of Africa or Asia, none in Russia. I wonder why that is?
I just can’t imagine why that is.
True but they DO allow conservatives to speak
Rare
I spent a little time at the American School in London. I was surprised by the politics at ASL even though I knew many were diplomat and corporate executive dependents.
It depends on what you define as close
I was there last month
University of Chicago is I dont know maybe a mile or so from the worst south side shooting precients
Its gentrifying all around it
Pretty school
Chicago has four or five leafy gothic Ivy League looking colleges ...three on the north shore area alone
I wish my son could go there...itd be a good excuse to go to Chicago a lot
I love Chicago
People are friendly and downtown is manageable and beautiful girls
Caltech invited George HW Bush to speak at commencement in 1991. I was there, as a few friends of mine were graduating that year. The only political types were not from the community, and left after GHWB left.
Seems a very Science/Math/Engineering oriented list, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
They concentrate on other interests:
The Great MIT Balloon Hack of '82 (at the Harvard-Yale game)
“Beat Us Today....Work For Us Tomorrow.”
