Another day. Another set of college rankings to report on. And this time, UW-Madison can hold its head high as it checked in at No. 17 in the world university rankings compiled by Jiaotong University. Harvard topped these rankings, which were released Friday, with the University of California at Berkeley No. 2 and Stanford No. 3.
Big Ten Conference institutions as a whole shined, with the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor (No. 22), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (No. 25), University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (No. 28) and Northwestern University (No. 29) all in the top 30.
