Universities in United States
Till 2005, there were more than four thousand institutions that offer education on the American soil. Among the four thousand odd academic institutions, 629 were public 4-year institutions, 1,845 were private 4-year institutions, 1,070 public 2-year institutions and 596 private 2-year institutions. The number hasn’t changed much in the recent past. However, the recent travel ban on the people from six middle-eastern countries has caused a decline in the number of enrollments in US universities, and the number is causing tension among the college administrations. However, till the last year, USA was the most preferred destination for the international students, which proves that the quality of education and the standard of living are quite high in the United States of America. There are 8 American universities in the list of top ten universities in the world, and they are:
- Harvard University (No.1)
- Stanford University (No.2)
- The University of California, Berkeley (No.3)
- Massachusetts Institute of technology (No.5)
- Princeton University (No.6)
- California Institute of technology (No.8)
- Columbia University (No.9)
- University of Chicago (No.10)
