There is no comparison of Harvard with any other university. Harvard has gained its global recognition. On the other hand, Yonsei is one of the 'SKY' universities in Korea, which means it ranked top among other top-ranked universities.

Both Imperial and Harvard are world-class global institutions. They are both better than each other in certain aspects. Imperial stands out for its STEM and Business courses, as does Harvard, however, Harvard does have a better reputation for courses in other streams.

ICL London maintains a much stronger reputation in the European and Asian markets. Harvard has better connections in North America.

Harvard has a better global reputation and is better for students interested in liberal arts or other areas of studies. Imperial is a better choice for STEMB courses.
