Don't think this list will be making the Korean newspapers.

Still no 35 is not bad! + the other one further down the list....

Of course these lists are silly, subjective and ultimately meaningless.

This list was already reported by Korean newspapers. I guess you need to find some other way to keep hating.

I was about to say that I thought it would be published as I seem to remember Korean universities being a lot lower in previous lists I've seen. Around 50 or so. I reckon this is an improvement.

Wait, what?! Which university did you graduate from? I mean it would most certainly explain the high paying job and great lifestyle but you have mentioned in another thread that you 'started at the bottom' and were an English teacher when you first came to Korea... so what on earth did you study? Origami?

Don't lie. When you had to go and see your advisor in person you called in at the "Tampa Campus". Though it was just a rented office in a strip mall. I know it's true, you know its true, we all know its true.

That's a massive improvement over the past few years. I'm not sure if they were in the top 100 when I first came here in 2005.

His degree is a Koh San Road special.

He studied under water basket weaving and passed with a solid C+. The final exam was a killer!
