Times of London University World Rankings: Carolina at #30

I'm frequently amazed at how Carolina manages to do so well in such rankings given that--at least by the standards of plausibly great universities--it isn't what you'd call a wealthy school, it has an unusually strong commitment to teaching, and to the students of its state (and NC does not have what you'd call the best secondary education system in the nation...). But they do keep on hangin' in there. Cue sentimental comments about "the university of the people" and so forth...
