It is not the case that free universities are necessarily 2nd tier. QS World Univerity rankings puts ETH Zurich, a free university, as #6 overall. Times Higher Education world ranking lists ETH Zurich as #13 overall.

The other Swiss flagship university, EPFL, which is also free, is ranked #14 overall in the QS world ranking.

What is this ranking site (QS world)? Not to dismiss it outright, I'm just usually suspicious of any rankings aggregator of universities at this point.
