<p>**How come nobody talks about UBC?</p>
<p>Whenever the topic about Canadian universities is brought up, people just keep mentioning McGill and UofT.</p>
<p>Though UT and McGill beat UBC in terms of research output, the latter trumps them in terms of undergrad teaching.**</p>
<p>This may be the case, but ‘undergraduate teaching’ is not the stuff of high global university rankings. Research power is. </p>
<p>Harvard isn’t Harvard because it provides its students with the best undergraduate experience. Its fame (reputation, prestige) is due to its research power.</p>
