In Top 5 universities in the US

1. California Institute of Technology (CalTech)

Relative to the tiny size of the student population, CalTech has an impressive number of successful graduates and affiliates, including 34 Nobel prizewinners, six Turing Award winners, five Fields Medalists and a number of national awards.

There are only approximately 2,000 students at CalTech, and the primary campus in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, covers 124 acres. Almost all undergraduates live on campus.

Across the six faculties there is a focus on science and engineering.

In addition to Nobel laureates and top researchers, the CalTech alumni community also includes a number of politicians and public advisers, particularly in positions that deal with science, technology and energy.

All first-year students belong to one of four houses as part of the university’s alternative model to fraternities. There are a number of house traditions and events associated with each house.

The university has the highest proportion of students who continue on to pursue a PhD, and the trope of the CalTech postgraduate has filtered into popular culture; all the main characters in the TV comedy The Big Bang Theory work or study at CalTech.

2. Stanford University

Based right next to Silicon Valley or Palo Alto Stanford has had a prominent role in encouraging the high-tech industry to develop in the area.

Many faculty members, students and alumni have founded successful technology companies and start-ups, including Google, Snapchat and Hewlett-Packard.

In total, companies founded by Stanford alumni make $2.7 trillion each year.

The university is often referred to as “the Farm”, as the campus was built on the site of the Stanford family’s Palo Alto Stock Farm. The campus covers 8,180 acres, but more than half of the land is not yet developed.

With distinctive sand-coloured, red-roofed buildings, Stanford’s campus is thought to be one of the most beautiful in the world. It contains a number of sculpture gardens and art museums in addition to faculty buildings and a public meditation centre.

As might be expected from one of the best universities in the world, Stanford is highly competitive. The admission rate currently stands at just over 5 per cent.

Of the 15,000 students most of whom live on campus 22 per cent are international.

3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

A long-standing rival of CalTech, MIT also cultivates a strong entrepreneurial culture, which has seen many alumni found notable companies such as Intel and Dropbox.

Unusually, the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at MIT are not wholly separate; many courses can be taken at either level.

The undergraduate programme is one of the country’s most selective, admitting only 8 per cent of applicants. Engineering and computer science programmes are the most popular among undergraduates.

Thirty-three per cent of the 11,000 students are international, hailing from 154 different countries around the world.

Famous alumni include astronaut Buzz Aldrin, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and physicist Richard Feynman. Graduates are prevalent throughout science, politics, economics, business and media.

The Harvard Library system is made up of 79 different libraries and counts as the largest academic library in the world.

Among many famous alumni, Harvard can count eight US presidents, about 150 Nobel laureates, 13 Turing Award winners and 62 living billionaires.

Unlike some other universities at the top of the list, Harvard is at least equally as reputed for arts and humanities as it is for science and technology, if not more so.

5. Princeton University

Like Harvard, Princeton is a prestigious Ivy League university with a history stretching back more than 200 years.

Princeton’s distinctive social environment includes private “eating clubs” which function as both social houses and dining halls. Many of the clubs are selective and competitive, but others simply require undergraduates to sign up.

There are fewer than 8,000 students enrolled at Princeton, and just over a quarter are international.

Princeton’s campuses, in New Jersey, are located about an hour away from both New York City and Philadelphia.

Degree courses have strictly specified requirements. All students are required to do independent research as part of their degrees, and some must take a foreign language course.

The application process is highly selective. Unlike most US universities, Princeton does not now offer an early decision application route.

Renowned Princeton alumni include US presidents, astronauts, businessmen, Olympians and numerous award-winners. Physicist Richard Feynman attended as a graduate student, as did mathematicians John Nash and Alan Turing.
The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2018 list the top 1,000 universities in the world, making it our biggest international league table to date.

It is the only global university performance table to judge research-intensive universities across all of their core missions: teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. We use 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators to provide the most comprehensive and balanced comparisons, trusted by students, academics, university leaders, industry and governments.

The calculation of the rankings for 2018 has been subject to independent audit by professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), making these the only global university rankings to be subjected to full, independent scrutiny of this nature.

This year, we have made a slight improvement to how we handle our papers per academic staff calculation, and expanded the number of broad subject areas that we use. The top 1,000 represents no more than 5 per cent of the 20,000 higher education institutions in the world.

Swarthmore College

Swarthmore College

Since its establishing in 1864, Swarthmore College has given understudies the learning, understanding, aptitudes, and experience to end up pioneers for the benefit of all. Offering a human sciences and building educational programs, the College is private, yet open to all paying little mind to monetary need. It is likewise distinctly worldwide in viewpoint, drawing understudies from around the globe and every one of the 50 states. The assorted qualities of points of view spoke to by Swarthmore understudies, personnel, and staff - including diverse perspectives, personalities, and histories - adds to the group's solid feeling of open discourse and engagement with thoughts and issues.

Such an extensive amount what Swarthmore remains for, from its dedication to curricular broadness and meticulousness to its exhibited enthusiasm for encouraging revelation and cultivating municipal engagement, lies in the quality and energy of its personnel. An understudy/workforce proportion of 8:1 guarantees that understudies have close, significant engagement with their educators, setting up the previous to interpret the aptitudes and comprehension picked up at Swarthmore into the imprint they need to make on the world.

The College's Honors program includes little gatherings of devoted and fulfilled understudies working intimately with personnel; an accentuation on autonomous learning; progressing discourse amongst understudies and their companions, instructors, and analysts; and an examination toward the end of two years' study by outside researchers.

Swarthmore's pure, 425-section of land arboretum grounds highlights moving gardens, a rivulet, lush slopes, and climbing trails, and is found only 11 miles from Philadelphia.

In respect to the absolutely discerning standard, we commit loads of errors," says Syon Bhanot, colleague educator of financial aspects. "We get the doughnut that is placed directly before us, we don't sufficiently spare for retirement, we stuff the charge card exposure in a sock drawer."

So how would you outline approach that mirrors the way individuals really act? Bhanot is among a gathering of behavioral financial experts chipping away at the answer. He works together with any semblance of The World Bank, The United States Agency for International Development, The White House Social and Behavioral Science Team, Google, and city pioneers to apply behavioral financial matters to true issues.

Not long ago, Bhanot helped to establish the Philadelphia Behavioral Science Initiative (PBSI) with Evan Nesterak '09 and scholastics from the Harvard Kennedy School and the University of Pennsylvania. In May, PBSI sorted out a behavioral science workshop for government authorities from Philadelphia. The mission of the occasion, which was co-supported by The Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility: to start a two-path discussion between arrangement producers and scholastics on the significance of behavioral strengths in the city, with the objective of advising strategy to improve the conduct.

"We needed to convey arrangement creators to the table to pick up a comprehension of what they manage," says Bhanot. "This is a community oriented venture amongst scholastics and the administration to improve strategies that will work for individuals."

For instance, city authorities need to expand applications for the earned pay charge credit (EITC), a government program supporting earnings for low-salary, working Americans. By rounding out a basic frame, an occupant who qualifies can get an expense credit of up to $6,000. Still, numerous don't trouble.

"Many people simply don't care for rounding out structures," says Bhanot. "They can confound and overpowering. It's not normal for a basic structure to keep them from asserting the credit, however actually this is a noteworthy hindrance."

Improving the procedure is vital, he says.

"Some of these changes we talked about would be extremely modest to actualize and could majorly affect spending plans and the uptake of enormously helpful projects and spending plans," says Bhanot. "It's a win-win for everybody — we simply need to discover approaches to make them work."

Bhanot started instructing at Swarthmore this fall, and he co-taught a course on behavioral science and open arrangement with Barry Schwartz, the Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and Social Action, in the spring. Through Schwartz, Bhanot met Nesterak, a fellow benefactor of The Psych Report and specialist at the Character Lab of Angela Duckworth at the University of Pennsylvania. Susanne Schwarz from the Harvard Kennedy School and Dan Hopkins from UPenn joined the discussion also, offering ascend to PBSI.

From the most punctual days of advanced education, the sages comprehended the significance of a scrutinizing situation for study and learning. Plato had his olive woods of Akademia, Christian friars swung internal to the verdant group, and Thomas Jefferson manufactured his institute around the Lawn at the University of Virginia.

It is no mishap that a large number of the country's top colleges hold their graduation functions this month outside, in the planned scene. Maybe no other organization has grasped this perfect more than Swarthmore College, the little aesthetic sciences school 10 miles southwest of Philadelphia.
