What school took the top spot?

SF Gate reports.

These 25 universities carry the best reputations in the world for 2016

Sorry, Stanford: it looks like you’ve been edged out as the highest regarded global university by — ugh — Harvard. MIT, too.

In Times Higher Education’s 2016 rankings of the schools with the best reputations in the world, Stanford, as well as UC Berkeley, didn’t take first place, but they did land at at a still very impressive #3 and #6, respectively.

The “World Reputation Rankings,” as the site is calling them, were compiled from the opinions of more then 10,000 “top scholars” from around the world. Only academics invited by the site were allowed to contribute their own thoughts about how the schools stacked up against each other.
