when I lived in Gimhae, some of my Korean friends told me that Kaya uni is ranked the worst University in Korea.
Whatever that means. |

| Many 404 errors and unfinished links (I guess they haven't sussed out their "education concept"). Classy. |

Perhaps conditions have improved there since last year.
According to one website, Margaret Pritchard University is the lowest ranking (174) in Korea: http://www.jesus.ac.kr/. (The domain name says it all.  ) Kaya is ranked 95th on that list. Of course, who knows how reliable their data and criteria are for presenting these fine academic institutions of higher education in a particular odor. |

| I don't know if those are the actual rankings. It says "Web Popularity Rankings", whatever that means. |

They are rankings based on the amount internet traffic to the university websites. While some well known universities will likely get a lot of internet traffic, there are also going to be some giant universities of poor quality which will also get a lot of internet traffic. So, I think most of us would agree that this is not an objective way of determining the quality of a university. |
