    It must be reliable considering the following multiple indicators that they used; these are objective ways to evaluate schools:

    • Peer reviewing, based on a poll of 1,300 academics in 88 countries.

    • The Teachers/Students ratio.

    • The internationalization rate, given by the percentage of the academic staff and of the students coming from other countries.

    • The number of research citations, based on the Essential Science Indicators edited by Thomson Scientific.

    I think they’re pretty acurate.
