Hey, I'd prefer to live, study at, or work at Oxford too, or Cambridge, but there is actually only one Harvard. The first sentence of my post is true and was responding to its parent post saying there's only one MSU.
Harvard is definitely the most prestigious university in the US, just as Oxford is definitely the most prestigious university in the UK. Please noye I said nothing anout quality of education.
In China, Peking, Tsinghua, Fudan are all in the top 5. Not as prestigious as your kid getting into HYPS, or many other foreign universities. For France there are the Grandes Ecoles like Sciences Pos or Ecole des Mines. The Sorbonne is a normal public university, of normal selectivity, with no way of attracting anything but normal academics. The German and Italian systems have no equivalent of the Grandes Ecoles. There are good departments but no good universities.
Yes there's only one Harvard, but it's utter nonsense that it's the most prestigious university on Earth! Sure Harvard's a great school, but kid, you really need to get out more.

There's only one Harvard. It's the most prestigious undergraduate university on Earth.
Apart from Oxford and Cambridge.

Yeah, I didn't mean one was better than the other, just that any of them on your CV would look equally good.
There are probably European and Asian equivalents, (Sorbonne?) but I have no idea what they would be.
