Oxford isn't held that high anymore. I'd say Cambridge(UK), Harvard (US), and Berkley (US) are regarded as the best....but this is a generalization....it depends on what you want to study...if it's electronics MIT(US) is the BEST hands down. If you want a good architecture program then its Princeton(UK), London School of Architecture(UK) and Barcelona Architectural Academy (Spain). It all depends.....

According to the US News & World Report (2006 Edition) of the Best National Universities: University of Florida ranked 50th place, University of Miami ranked 55th place, Florida State University ranked 109th place.\n\nThe real choice is yours!!

Obviously, this is an opinion question.  In my opinion, Harvard is it.  I think they've done a lot in the last decade to open up to new ideas and creativity, and that increases their standing in my estimation.

The London Business school and Harvard Business school if you have good grades and are well rounded.oh and having money is a pus too since they're expensive. If you can get into these schools, the world is at your feet

it depends where you are from. but the common notion is ivy-leagues and oxford or cambridge.  \n\nalthough they have academically high standards recognized around the world, think of other factors such as distance and cost. it also depends on your course because the money you spent on these universities might not payback in the future (ex. fine arts)... \n\nthere are also other prestigious universities in Asia. there are many developing asian countries such as japan, south korea, china, singapore, philippines that have very good academic standards.

America and England have some of the best universities and research institutes in the world. Another choice is India.

University education in the US is pretty much the best in the world (check the THES rankings for confirmation of this), largely because so many higher education institutions are private with large budgets, so they are able to provide top-class facilities and cherry-pick the most talented academics from all over the world.\n\nSchool education (primary and secondary) is less well regarded, this FT article shows rankings of global education systems - the US is 15th overall, but 42nd for maths and science. Incidentally, the UK is ranked higher for maths and science but MUCH lower for overall quality. It's not the best, but it's not bad either. It's also quite variable - individual states can set their own curricula, and school funding comes for the area immediately around the school - so schools in rich areas have lots of money and tend to achieve better results than schools in poor areas.\n\nIf you go to nationmaster (see sources) then you can see tables and graphs of countries based on all sorts of education statistics, it's really interesting to play around with and get a feel for how American education compares.

I'm from England. I dont know about Engineering, but Oxford and Cambridge are the Uk's best universities in general.  Im fairly sure they must do some sort of Engineering courses there but i may be wrong?

University of Cape Town is top class (www.uct.ac.za).  Do NOT attempt to go to University of the Western Cape - that's a rubbish university.  Stellenbosch university ranks high will UCT.

BYU (Brigham Young University), BYU Idaho, BYU Hawaii.  I'm sure there are other colleges with standards, but they won't be as populated with LDS.

MIT has a much better scholarly reputation, both nationally and internationally.  Just a thought.

Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York USA.\n\nIf I am not mistaken, it has the reputation of being the finest in the world.

Here's the latest rating list.  Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton (Penn) usually top the list.  But there are many good schools.  Very few can get into Harvard.  (They even turned ME down!) \n\nBest of luck to you.
