Nine Canadian universities have made a list of the top 200 in
the world.

University of Toronto is the top Canadian on the school,
coming in at 17th on the annual list released by London,
U.K.-based Times Higher Education (THE).

The University of British Columbia and McGill University in
Montreal were close together, coming at 30th and 35th
respectively.

McMaster in Hamilton, Ont., was 93rd on the list, University
of Alberta came in at 127th followed closely by University of
Victoria at 130th.

University of Montreal was 138th, Dalhousie University was
193, while Simon Fraser University in B.C. was 199, tied for
the last spot on the list with Swedish Univeristy of
Agricultural Sciences.

...

Number one on the list was Harvard University.

"It takes the top five positions, and there are 72 U.S.
institutions in the top 200, which is pretty impressive by
anyone's standards,"

...

Mroz said it could be due to spending. The U.S. spends 3.1% of
its gross domestic product (GDP) on higher education, while
the average is 1.5%.

This year, rankings scaled back the importance of reputation
to the overall results and also attempted to fix a statistical
quirk that had been giving an advantage to universities with
more science research.

In last year's version (under the old system) McGill was the
top Canadian university, ranked ahead of U of T. More
dramatically, this year's version sees research heavyweights
Waterloo, Calgary, Western Ontario and Queen's fall out of the
top 200 entirely.
