Is Tokyo University the "best" University in Japan?

Question:




Answer:


The most successful students are usually found in the University of Tokyo and Kyoto university. They are the two most prestigious universities in Japan. Granted they are the best non-english speaking universities in the world.
I think they should make themselves more international and bring best people from all over the world, like some universities in North America do. But unfortunately they aren't as financially well off as prestigious American universities like Stanford and Harvard.
Even some Japanese researchers move to the US for better research opportunities.

Generally speaking, people think that:
Students in U of Tokyo: bright, international, elites
Students in Kyoto university: crazy, mad, nutjobs
