> Great university's for sure, but the large majority of universities (particularly those accessible to anybody) reside in the United States.

There are 4,140 in the US. https://www.infoplease.com/us/higher-education/number-us-col...

There are about 4,000 in Europe. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=URISERV:c...

Apologies, I meant to type "the large majority of great universities". Obviously there are more universities across the planet combined than there are in the United States.

I remain dubious of that updated claim. The UK alone has several Ivy-level institutions.

Sure. There are good universities all over the planet. The US is by far the best.

Did you mean bold? It looks like you spelled it wrong in that link.

[selectodude]

Europe has 750 million people and fewer universities.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make with that tidbit.

The US demonstrably does not have the "large majority" of universities as was claimed.
