Quacquarelli Symonds acquires StudentApply
#1
Hmm, LOL, Quacquarelli Symonds - Dare you to say that 5 times fast!  

Anyways, international student recruitment seems to be big business for these guys to get acquired.

It seems they're trying to enter into this market to "find ways to get" more applications globally.

I think it's a good deal to acquire a smaller business, the acquisition should enlarge their educational base and make up for the expense (long term).

I think QS is the worst ranking institution ever.
They just want to give low rankings to US universities and bump up UK universities in world university rankings.

i.e. see QS rankings of University of Arizona, Temple University, Vanderbilt. Florida International University, etc ... Only the QS ranked them so low. Nearly all US schools are ranked very low in QS.

When we have Times Higher Education rankings, why do we need another UK ranking?
I'm not a big fan of UK universities.
