The Most Universities in the Top 100

Understand the most universities in the top 100: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.

University rankings select indicators and assign weights, so a top-100 count reflects a particular ranking system. Research-heavy institutions may perform differently from teaching-focused ones. Multiple campuses and merged institutions also need consistent treatment. A national count describes representation in that edition, not the quality of every student's education.
