It's really interesting. Way, way biased towards the U.S., in my opinion. But even so, the rankings within the U.S. are fascinating, and often not what I would expect - Duke and Northwestern are below UofI, for instance, and University of Wisconsin - Madison is above it! (I don't know much at all about that school, but they do have a towering reputation as the nation's top party/drinking campus.) Edinburgh is 53, a couple slots above Rutgers.
Edit: looking at the methodology, it's basically biased towards large colleges, with only a small consideration given to accolades per capita. Which is of course a bias towards the U.S.

Generally quite true, but let me add one or two qualifications.
