    Depends on what ranking it is, they're all a little different.

    My link is to the same ranking Mercopress is discussing - though, unsurprisingly, it is misreporting the findings.

    Nice to see U. Campinas up there with the 'great and the good'.

    I don’t care much about those comparisons about who’s longer, thicker etc. but……
    It’s with satisfaction that I can see our old beloved Universidad de Buenos Aires on the same level as other excellent learning houses like the:
    Universidade de São Paulo
    Dansk Teknisk Universitet
    Universität zu Köln
    Università degli Studi di Padova
    Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc…………………..
