I don’t want to question the credibility of the source, but when you check the standards of USL they cannot even make it to the top 100 list.

Nimal do not condemn 23rd out of 1000 is a significant achievement. You people politicise everything which is bad. What was your contribution for USL to attain this position? Nothing. So just shut up.

When people hate themselfs, they will hate everything on the planet. So sad how people hate their country so much that it pains them when they hear good things. What a sad generation!

It’s good to hear this. But please, for some of you doubting wether the USL match the standards of been 23rd, I have a question for you: have you been to the other universities you deem fit to be ahead of the USL, or have you forgotten that we were once up there?
Why can’t you embrace good things and stop been bigot for once?
