Statistics contributing to its score are formed from the combination of all campuses meeting a certain classification - in this case Chapel Hill and Greensboro have been combined. This will be corrected in 2009 and may have an influence on the results. 101 82 VANDERBILT University United States 102= 151= University of NORTH CAROLINA* United States 102= 119 University of SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA United States 104 80= University of LEEDS United Kingdom 105 90= PENNSYLVANIA STATE University United States 106= 62 University of ADELAIDE Australia 106= 140= University of ZURICH Switzerland 108 177= University College DUBLIN Ireland 109 231= TECHNION - Israel Institute of Technolog...
