And overtaken by Canada as well - with 9 universities in the top 200.
It was good to see my hometown uni make the list too. University of Victoria in top 200
Not bad for a country with 1/4 the population of Japan, and 1/10 of the USA.

Not to take anything away from Canada, a truly awesome country, but they are spending a nearly proportionate amount of their GDP on education as the US. The countries that impress me are Germany and the UK, who only spend a third as much of their total GDP.

And as much as it pleases me to see the Japanese educational system (which I despise) humbled by a developing nation, I think these ranking systems are rubbish. Case in point: I, a semi-literate retard, was accepted into a top 25 university on that list.

While the overall trend is probably correct, I have to wonder about the use of subjective measures.

Probably a more objective measure, at least for the sciences.
