The "top 10" Lists


Since i was discussing this with a friend this afternoon, i thought might as well i put it on blog for future references and such..it may just be helpful to someone who stumbles upon it :)

All the information below are rankings that are pretty much accepted internationally..a reminder that the list is focused to architecture in particular, means that the list ranks the universities based on their architectural courses only k..

i focused on 3 countries; United Kingdom, Australia, and United States..don't ask me why, it's just a matter of personal interest :p..
