Mmmmm, sounds like they provide a top notch education. Given the quality of your research, I presume you flunked their entrance exams.

Even Switzerland has more unis in the Top 100. But who needs an education when there's footy and beer.

Perhaps they should recast the Top 100 to include only those universities attended by white, Anglo Saxon protestants? That sounds more up your street.
