just want to ask ci... if a university has a higher rank than others, does it guarantee whoever studying or working there have better qualification or characterisctic , because i've read before ( i forgot whether it's Harvard or Yale) that there's a campus society that force their new members to be naked and being hit, just because they think it's fun;and i think you also remember David's case...
