It is essential to remember that rankings are just one
aspect of evaluating a university's educational performance. Factors such as program offerings, location, cost, student diversity, cultural inclusivity, sustainability
efforts and personal goals also should be included in the decision-making
process. University rankings should be viewed as tools to aid rather than
dictate our choices in college selections. The true value of an institute lies
not just in its global standing but in the knowledge gained, the experiences
shared and the personal growth achieved throughout the journey.
