Australia has 5 in the top 49? Not bad for a country that is destined to be China's most ecologically ravaged province.

I wish my father were alive so I could show him where his much vaulted Rice university placed that he kept trying to force me to attend.

[scandal 951]

Here's another tidbit.

On the "World's Best Universities: Asian and Middle Eastern" section there are, as expected, numerous universities in eastern Asia: China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea in particular.

However in the Middle East there are 3 listed Israeli universities - Hebrew University, Tel Aviv University and the Technion (my alma mater). Not a single university from the Arab Middle East.

I'm an equal opportunity hater. I hate Aralicks, Arachews, Aranibbles, Arasucks. Especially Arasucks.

What do you consider the Arab Middle East or what is your criteria you're going by since there are Arab Jews too? Historical political boundaries of the Arab Middle Eastern countries have wandered into Cyprus, Turkey & Iran which are now considered Arab Western Asia. One unifying feature of the Arab world was the Arabic language, though different areas use different varieties of Arabic. At a wider scope one could look at the Islamic world which would include many more countries in Africa, Middle East, Near East, and Far East, and into Asia.

The American University in Beirut was on there.

Also King Saud University in Saudi Arabia was on there.

Turkey was also on that list with Bilkent University.

The National University of Sciences and Technology Islamabad in Pakistan was also on that list.

United Arab Emirates University in UAE was on the list.
