<p>spencer, GIVE IT UP.</p>
<p>After slipper's last post, I thought you would wallow back into your little hole. Apparently not.</p>
<p>Why won't you give it a rest man? You clearly lost this debate.</p>
<p>Ok...if you don't want to go away, then I'll just continue to make a fool out of you. You know I can do it spencer.</p>

You said that. And you went on to back up your claim about how Dartmouth is better than Oxbridge because it lands you at Wall Street better... </p>
<p>Don't have the courage to admit?

<p>Hey, if you can't find explicit proof that says I believe that Oxbridge is more prestigious than Dartmouth, then case closed. I said that Dartmouth serves us Americans extremely well, even better than Oxbridge ever could. But that's a far cry from saying that Dartmouth is actually more prestigious than Oxbridge.</p>
<p>It seems like you did not pick up what I wrote. Once again, I don't blame you. You don't know how to read. That's probably a big reason why you're in such a huge mess right now.</p>

Rubbish! I don't know both schools personally!</p>
<p>If you ask me to go by rankings, then I would say that ranks do fluctuate year on year. Tell me whether LSE or Imperial is better would you? One is about Social Science and the other about Hard Science!</p>
<p>Go compare a banana to an orange. Period.

<p>You're avoiding my question. So does that mean that I'm right, spencer?</p>
<p>I did not ask you to equivocate, or beat around the bush. I did not ask you to give me an explanation that was besides the point. I asked for a simple, yes or no. Are you having trouble comprehending what I wrote?</p>
<p>But to answer your question, Imperial is better. Listen spencer, when you invoked the rankings, you restricted yourself to a perceived hierarchy that you now must answer to. The concept that rankings fluctuate year by year is besides the point. You invoked the rankings, so you have to answer to the latest edition. That's what you've been doing for most of this thread, and you decide to stop now? Stop beating around the bush, and answer my question, or else we're all going to assume that you don't believe in the validity of the THES at all, and that you concede that I was right all along.</p>
<p>What's fair is fair. So stop equivocating, and answer my question. That's twice I've answered your questions now. Why can't you do the same?</p>

<p>Oh really? Who started this thread? It seems you knew enough about Dartmouth's prestige to criticize it.</p>

Now don't put words into my mouth. I didn't talk ill about SNU, but merely refuting your crappy argument that because SNU is highly esteemed within South Korea, it should be a top university in the world.

</p>
<p>I see you're having trouble comprehending once again, what I wrote. I didn't say that you talked ill about SNU, just that you degraded it as a school overall. You were trying to justify its place on the THES, so you in effect, degraded Seoul National.</p>
<p>Boy, how are the Koreans going to feel about that?</p>
<p>Let me tell you something spencer. I've been pretty astute about my word choices, and it's been working. I've gotten you all riled up over things you should not be emotional about. Nobody on this thread (except maybe joshua) thinks that you have anything productive to say. To us, you're an irrational, emotionally biased fool, who needs to admit that he's wrong, and move on. Of course, we would've never thought that of you if you knew how to read.</p>

A degree from SNU would not serve you as well as a degree from Oxbridge in most places around the world. Facts are facts and they cannot be denied. If employment is the deciding factor of university, then you should place Fudan, the top university in Shanghai, as the top university as well. Everyone knows China is hot, and Shanghai is the hottest city in China. Where would you be better off than right at the centre of action, establish all the networks and contacts necessary to conquer this giant?

<p>Oh really? That's seemingly contradictory from what you've said here:</p>

Todai, unlike SNU, is very coveted in Asia, especially North-East Asia.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Uh...the last time I checked, Todai had a high market value that was mostly constrained to Japan. So how does that make it SO different from SNU?</p>
<p>That's not the point here. The point is, I find SNU's ranking extremely dubious.</p>
<p>And let's be honest here. NUS isn't exactly the hottest commodity in the world. D.T. said so himself - but you would expect the reverse since he's from Singapore. Now that says a lot when NUS's own constituency doesn't think too highly of it, does it?</p>
<p>And face it, SNU students tend to be on average, smarter than the average NUS student. Heck, I think there's little dispute that the average SNU student is smarter and more successful than the average University of Toronto student. But that's not what the THES would have you thinking.</p>

World perspective indeed. I hope you get a lot of it at Dartmouth since you seem to lack so much of it.

</p>
<p>Oh quit it. You will never be that witty, so stop copying my statements. Let's be honest here, you probably never stepped a metre outside of Singapore. Otherwise, there's no way you would've started this thread, and there's no way you would've degraded SNU like you did.</p>
