The top universities/colleges of the world have produced them all - from Nobel Prize winners to Olympic gold medalists! While one may lead the list of Nobel Prize Winners, the other may top the list of great scientists, leaders or writers. Colleges love to promote their famous alumni—as it makes sense for them to associate themselves with successful, well-known people by taking some credit in shaping their career. Thousands of gifted men and women have studied at these notable universities throughout their history. Some names are so famous that we recognize them instantly but there are thousands of others who may not have been well-known but have led the change and made a huge difference in their own field. It is our endeavor to showcase these notable alumni from various top universities/colleges of the world.
