The most underrated universities in the world

CAMBRIDGE. OXFORD. Stanford. Yale. Sorbonne. These and many other outstanding universities, colleges and high schools are world-famous. Students know them as places where they can get top-quality education.

Parents from wealthy families are ready to pay thousands of pounds per year, so their children can study at the greatest schools. Students themselves usually work and study hard for years at high schools and colleges just to get their coveted scholarships.

But in this article, writers of cheap dissertations will tell you about institutions less famous. They are not as popular as the most well-known schools, so they frequently are underrated. Here are six great schools many future students could probably not to hear about.

Three most underrated universities in the USA

Apart from Yale, Stanford, MIT, and other top American schools, there are institutions in the USA which deserve more popularity and more students. Here are three less famous but good higher education schools in the United States.

1. San Jose State University

Both guidance counselors and families tend to underrate the University of San Jose State. However, it is situated right in the middle of Silicon Valley so that STEM students can rely on excellent outcomes and future possibilities. The bay area labour market is a substantial reason for prospective students to consider this school.

San Jose State University doesn’t make it to the best 300 colleges, according to US News rankings, but enters the CollegeVine’s return on investment top 40 in most STEM subjects.

2. University of Houston

Houston University is a higher educational institution that is notable for its STEM subjects. It is especially good when it comes to "physical" subjects (chemical engineering, petroleum engineering, and other severe disciplines).

Additionally, here is the same situation you could see in the previous point of the article. According to US News ranking, the Houston University occupies the 171st line of the list. But the labour market in Houston and perfect scholarships raise the school's return on investment statistics to the level of Top 40.

3. SUNY Binghamton

The main reason why SUNY Binghamton is successful is the status it has. The SUNY system knows Binghamton as its top element. The additional point to understand about SUNY: it offers the "easiest" option for qualified graduates to enter the labor force market of New York City.

Three most underrated universities in the UK

The United Kingdom is also famous for its educational system but many higher educational institutions stay in the shadow of Cambridge and Oxford fame. But the UK has other underrated institutions. Here are three of them which deserve your attention.

1. The University of East Anglia

The reason why the University of East Anglia appears on the list of underrated UK schools is simple: Most students don't even hear of it until the time comes for them to apply for studying.

Nevertheless, the University of East Anglia belongs to the cultural heritage of Norwich and has up to 15,000 successful students (including many foreigners). It is, without a doubt, the institution with a global impact and fame. It is especially good in law and medicine according to ranked lists of The Times and other periodicals. Nobody knows why the UEA has such an overlooked reputation among applicants from Great Britain.

2. The University of Bath

One of the students described "snobbery" as the leading cause for why few people choose to study at the University of Bath. However, it is the site of a UNESCO World Heritage also immersed in Georgian architecture. This underrated institution is rare to get higher in rank lists. It frequently goes 100 points below the UEA, but still, students are surprisingly positive when telling about their experience of studying at Bath University.

3. The University of Manchester

When it comes to the population of students, Manchester is the second city after London in the UK. The members of the Student Room said it was the size of the underrated school hurting its success in rankings. Additionally, they said it was the 'student satisfaction' that students mostly pay attention to while ignoring the success of the underrated institution in featured courses like Social Sciences or Engineering. These courses let the underrated University of Manchester hold much more of the global prestige compared to that it does from the UK students.
