<p>OP asked about reputation in the USA where many (rightly or wrongly) consider the rankings by US News and World Report. Here are their international rankings of universities. Again, it also depends on what you are studying. Clearly, despite this particular ranking, studying econ at London School of economics would be a big plus. </p>

<p>Thanks for this,</p>

<p>Now, if you had the choice between just St Andrews and LSE, what would you choose?</p>

<p>LSE by far and away..</p>

<p>Unless I'm going to major economics or politics, I would go for St Andrews for undergrad. LSE for grad and postgrad education.</p>

LSE in a heartbeat. I'd be bored out of my mind in St Andrews.</p>

<h1>61 on the US News International list is Tokyo Institute of Technology. I read that the student body is almost entirely Asian. Apparently they don't care for diversity.</h1>

<p>Sounds like Prince William's impact on the U of St Andrews was a variation on the "Flutie Effect": Flutie</a> effect | Free exchange | Economist.com</p>
