28.NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY (..... 20th in USA) (Evanston,IL,USA)
Northwestern University’s 21,000 students enjoy three campuses, two of which border on Lake Michigan, while the third resides in Doha, Qatar.
These campuses house 12 schools and colleges.
The school employs a prestigious 3,344-strong full-time faculty that currently includes a Nobel Prize winner, MacArthur Fellowship winners, and Tony Award winners.
The university is also known for its 19 teams’ presence within the Big Ten athletic conference.
Its $9.8 billion endowment is why the school can afford to utilize more than $500 million for research in a given year, and why its library can hold over 5 million items, including numerous journals and microforms.
As often seems to be the case, this leading research university benefits from its close proximity to an even stronger neighbor, the University of Chicago.
Northwestern also runs several major graduate research initiatives, including the Center for Global Health, the Initiative for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern, and the Global and Research Opportunities at Northwestern.
