Here is a list that is considered the definitive list of the World's Top 200 Universities...Harvard is number 1. My school is number 21 (McGill University in Montreal)! All of the US ivy leagues are top notch, and also Oxford in England.\n\nhttp://www.staff.hum.ku.dk/hp/KU_Bestyrelse/Top10/international_comparisons_World.htm

"Best" for what?\n\nThere are some rankings for schools (such as the US News college rankings) and they DO make a difference. High ranked schools generally have better facilities, more famous teachers, higher level students, and their reputations will open many doors. \n\nPerhaps a few of the things noted by the rankings experts will point out the difference.  Schools with high rankings have a lot of teachers with few students. So, you get to be in small classes where you can interact with really smart, international experts in the subject. Also, the high ranking schools tend to retain more students - it is common for 95+% of the freshmen who start at top schools to return for their sophomore years, this indicates that they were happy there and thought they were getting a good deal. Also, the alumni of the top ranked schools give a lot of money. I think that is one of the best ways to grade a school. If the people who went there are so loyal that they will voluntarily give donations to keep the school going, that is a strong indication that they think it did a good job with their education. So, top schools generally have a very high percent of their graduates giving back money.  And, top schools graduate a high % of their students within 4 years. In some universities only a small % of the kids can graduate in 4 years... \n\nPeople who attend large "factory" schools usually just don't know what they missed. And it is true that is you are very dedicated you can get a good education at almost any school. But a lot of smart people think that it is worth it to hand over $40,000 or more a year to send their kids to elite schools.

Wow, that's a broad question. You can't really compare schools in different countries.  The economy and economic culture in every country is different, so each school is probably geared towards the country its located in.  The best in the U.S. is UPenn's Wharton school of business, but that's just the rankings.  I'm not a student there

London School of Economics. Hands down.\n\nThe other two you mentioned are fantastic schools, though.

Cambridge is ranked higher than Oxford so there goes my vote. It is also the school that has received the most Nobel prizes - something like 80. Harvard has 30 plus

This depends on the program you wish to go to. Be a bit more specific and I might be able to give my opinion. However, US News and World Report ranks various schools each year. You can find more info on their web site. Sorry, not sure of the address....but there IS one.
