Of course I'm biased, but taken in whole, how could a Harvard or an MIT begin to compare with the full width and depth of a UC Berkeley? All considered, including size of student body, diversity of programs, impact of graduates, research, the whole kit and kaboodle, how can you compare? UC Berkeley is the single greatest University on the planet with all things considered. Athletics, arts, location, impact, academics, social role. Tops.

As always, university rankings are dumb and based on arbitrary rankings, unless we're number 1 then they're completely valid and incredibly important.

We are proud parents of our son, Cal alumnus, graduated from this one of the world’s prestigious university.

Go Bears! The erstwhile Southern Branch Normal School is now 11th overall. Not a bad showing for the state while keeping things in their proper order also.

I do have methodological concerns, though, seeing that the Taco Bell HQ ranked 3rd.

I'll let it go because of Baja Blast.

True, but they should have chose the Pacifica cantina location as the superior Taco Bell.
