<p>Apart from Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Stanford... Which college do you think is most internationally recognized?</p>
<p>Wouldn't you be best to know since you are in Australia???</p>
<p>oxford, cambirage</p>
<p>cambirage lolzzz</p>

<p>Berkeley might be one of them, or UCLA. But yeah, Oxbridge = very old, very well-known.</p>
<p>LOL, smart guy,definetly agree w/ you =D</p>
<p>Columbia, Julliard, Wharton,</p>
<p>UCLA apparel is surprisingly common in Sweden, but I'm not sure if that's because they recognize the academic excellence of the school or just because it's trendy. (I'm Swedish, for the record. I'm allowed to poke fun at my own country. ;))</p>
<p>Oh, and I'd never heard of Columbia or Wharton when I lived in Europe, but Berkeley has a strong reputation.</p>
<p>Columbia and Wharton are well known in South America.</p>
<p>Sorry -- my mistake.</p>
<p>Army Navy</p>
<p>Toronto and McGill</p>
<p>For American schools, public schools are more recognized.</p>
<p>o rly, a778999?</p>
<p>So you think that some random person in Spain (or wherever) will recognize University of Iowa over Harvard?</p>
<p>When I lived in Europe they were always on about Harvard, Princeton, Berkley. Almost never heard about any other schools while I was over there.</p>
<p>I know that IIT is pretty well-known throughout Asia as is MIT. Oxford and Cambridge are two definitely awesome schools, and the successors of the University of Paris (the Sorbonne) are pretty well-known where I used to live.</p>
<p>Yeah, the Sorbonne's pretty famous lol</p>
<p>In Sweden everyone knows of Harvard and Yale, Oxford and Cambridge. Most people know of Stanford, Princeton, Columbia and Berkeley. A few know of Babson C, U Chicago and many ~18-22 year olds know of UC Santa Barbra (solely because of the guys/girls, sun and hardcore partying, not the academics).</p>
<p>"Columbia and Wharton are well known in South America."</p>
<p>Yeah, Columbia is especially popular in Colombia.</p>
<p>Georgetown is well-known overseas.</p>
<p>I lived in 6 foreign countries, and visited a lot more. A lot of foreigners tend to respect colleges that are named after a place with which they are familiar. They often think NYU must be a great school because in many countries the U of (whatever the biggest city is) is a very prominent university. Foreigners also see California and Los Angeles in countless TV shows and movies, so they tend to think any college with "California" or "Los Angeles" in the name is sunny and glamourous. A very very high % of people I met in foreign countries seemed to be aware of the state of Texas, Niagara Falls, and the city of San Francisco (again, all are seen or mentioned in a lot of movies), so U of Texas, Niagara U., U of SF and SF State would all probably be presumed to be better than they actually are because the locales are so famous. Chicago is often thought to be a big organized crime town, and Detroit a big street crime city...and they're probably right about that. Bottom line is that a lot of foreigners would probably respect California State University-Chico more than Bowdoin or Brown, because 100% of the people they know are familiar with California, while 0% have heard of Brown or Bowdoin.</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins, but more for its medical school/hospital than it's undergraduate school.</p>
<p>in my home country, singapore, harvard/oxford/cambridge/lse/yale/berkeley/stanford/mit/ucla/michigan/nyu/chicago/northwestern/wharton/imperial/melbourne/u of new south wales are all well known. but our local unis are also well-known such as nus, nanyang ang singapore management university (SMU). </p>
<p>asian schools are also known in singapore: U of the Philippines, Indian instittuts of tech/business, asian institute of management (AIM), u of tokyo, peking u, u of Hong kong, Hong kong U of Science and Tech, chinese u of hong kong, tel aviv u</p>
