I don't like the ratings. It says nothing about how good the university is for students. Only how many papers etc. the university publish.

It says nothing about how good the university is for students.

Actually, teaching is 30% of the score.

You are free to dislike a metric that does not (or not 100%) correlate with what you find important, but that does not make it a meaningless metric.

Ofc you are right about that. I refrase, I don't like how the charts is being interpreted by the most of the people. Too many read too much into them.
