  Not sure what bubble that would be. I didn’t attend Harvard and don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who has. I also don’t live in the United States. The concept of a university is fairly universal (pun intended) and surely Harvard or Oxford are considered the “best” at least in terms of name recognition.

      According to Wikipedia, there are more than 20 universities in Yemen. I’m pretty sure they’ve heard of Harvard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_Yemen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_Yeme...
