South America even considered?

It's interesting to see that in the list of "Locations", South America is not even listed. I don't think it should be called "World's" Best Universities if only certain locations are taken into consideration. What a joke.

Cranfield University

Cranfield University, Bedford in the UK is one of the greatest universities in the UK. It is however a purely Graduate school. Why not research it? am sure it will qualify to be on your list! Thanks.
