¿Cuál es la mejor Universidad del mundo?
Esta es una pregunta que podemos hacernos si tenemos planteado viajar por estudios y radicarnos en otro país. Sin embargo, casi ninguna del listado de las mejores universidades del mundo es gratuita, y por ello debemos conseguir una beca o bien tener mucho dinero ahorrado para hacer esta hazaña.
