In 2006 The New York Times wrote that "The most prestigious college in the world, of course, is Harvard, and the gap between it and every other university is often underestimated. Colleges that emphasize teaching may well offer a better education than Harvard. But it still exerts a pull on teenagers that is unmatched." The U.S. News & World Report ranking of colleges and universities describes the difference between Harvard and other top-ranked schools as "microscopically small."
