Hi Filetime, please discuss here rather than just reverting without explanation. The two sources given supporting the claim that Brown is “among the most prestigious universities in the world” place Brown between #70 and #80 in the world for international reputation. By that standard, other universities that can claim to be among the “most prestigious” in the world in the lead of their articles also includes Ohio State, Michigan State, Texas A&M, Boston University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Penn State, all of which are ranked higher than Brown for international reputation. While these are all great universities (as is Brown), calling them “among the most prestigious in the world” would be misleading at best, and so the same is true for Brown. — Drevolt ( talk) 20:57, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
