This is dumb.
Columbia is ranked #2 in the U.S. It also has the second lowest acceptance rate in the U.S. Columbia is highly ranked in practically every discipline.
Three of the top five universities in the U.S. are in the NY metro, BTW.
And what does "it would be garbage if it weren't located in NYC" mean? That's kinda the point. Harvard would be garbage if it were in Botswana. Why do you think Oxbridge were the most prestigious global universities until the 1930's? Gee, I wonder what changed, and why all the U.S. universities took over.

These aren't on the list. They're graduate schools only, so have no relevance to the USNWR list, which only considers undergraduate programs.
Also, ignorance of a university has nothing to do whether a university is good, obviously. University of Chicago isn't less prestigious than University of Alabama just bc the latter is better known among the general public.
