Yup, ranked up there with some big name US, Euro, and other Asian universities. Find and review the rankings. There are all sorts of criteria, and like most, SNU probably excels at some and is found wanting in others. |

Is that true? According to this, they are 120th in the world (and the top ranked Saudi university 157th):

(If one were to average all the "best of" lists, SNU would not be in the top 40. In one list (once) they broke the top 40.) |

31...or 32? I'd hate to be in the middle of that discussion (SNU vs. University of Tokyo).
Of course I've seen that above ranking. Many Koreans like to show to to me often. (That's one list and the highest SNU has ever got. Still not bad I suppose.) |

I'm surprised U.S. News would even consider them. Say what you want, let the fun begin. |

We'll, personally I can tell you that I did my PhD with a lot of a SNU grads, and they were pretty damn impressive. |

University ranking systems obviously vary from list to list. I guess it's where they are placing the emphasis. A Korean told me the reason why Korean never does well on those lists is becuase of the lack of international students. Don't know if that's true.
I was under the impression that the QS ranking was the most authoratative.
SNU - 31
KAIST - 51
Pohang - 86 |

According to the center for world university rankings, best is Yonsei at 107th.

My university is near the 700 mark. I chose it for its location... |

Your mum told me.
But really, like i said it was just an impression. I am willing to admit that i have no idea. A few years ago a Professor from the University of Chicago gave a talk at company i worked for back home. He mentioned it. |
