This is something I have to explain to my students in China. I make the joke about the Chinese student who got offers to study theater arts at NYU and MIT and went to MIT, "because it's MIT" ... and then have to explain the joke, because they are like, "well, yes, of course, it's MIT. It's one of the top ten Universities in the World!"
I'm sure I've mentioned it on this board before, but I had a friend who transferred from UCLA to Kentucky because UK was better in her field.
She was the one who was at UCLA in 1975, UK in 1978 and then was working on her MBA at Houston in the Phi Slamma Jamma years. We joked that every school in the country would be recruiting her for her Phd.
