Brown University Ranking (Consistently Worst in Ivy Leagues)
Brown University has the distinct misfortune of consistently receiving the worst ranking amongst Ivy League schools in the highly regarded US News and World Reports rankings that are released annually. In the Best Colleges 2010 edition Brown came in at the number sixteen overall spot in terms of the most highly prized category of National Universities Rankings. For the 2010 rankings Brown finished one spot behind fellow Ivy League school Cornell University. Unfortunately for the good folks at Brown being affiliated with such a prestigious group as the Ivy League means accepting the reality that when competing in an objective ranking system with such highly regarded institutions at least one member will have to come in last place.
Being a top twenty American university (and in this specific instance a top sixteen university) is certainly no small feat. In fact, the case can easily be made that all of the top tier schools are outstanding institutions of higher education that provide tremendous resources for the brightest students on the planet. Parents all over the world would love to be able to give their children the opportunity to attend the top universities in America.

The report shows that in the same educational year, 43% of veterans and the servicemen attended 2-year public colleges, whereas 21% took classes in 4-year public institutions. Astonishingly, a stunning 13% part of the enrollment was into the private for-profit and non-profit colleges.

College – A Platform Which Brings Different Cultures Together
College is a place to study, this is the first thought that comes to everyone. But, this definition not complete. Several elements are put together and a mixture of all those together is termed as college. It is a platform which brings people from different countries, cultures and traditions together. As we know India is a country with varied cultures and traditions, we get to meet people from different cultures and with different interests. We learn many new things apart from the basic education that is a part of the syllabus.
Education is definitely an important criterion, I agree with this statement, but apart from it there are many other things to learn. A complete education is to have knowledge about things around us and also about the happenings in the world. All this knowledge does not come from our syllabus; this comes by binding with different people.
