The Rector of UBB Cluj-Napoca, Daniel David stated: "If I were a high school graduate with a Baccalaureate and I wanted to study in Romania, I would choose Babeş-Bolyai University (...) UBB has always been among the first universities, but, for several years, it has been the first university in the country in terms of its size, its ancient history and its position in international rankings. However you look at the metarankings, since 2016, we are the first university in the country. I would also say that, if we leave Romania and look at the European level, UBB has an extensive campus. We have our campus in UBB, but through the EUTOPIA alliance we have a campus in Gottenburg, in Sweden, we have a campus in Dresden, in Germany, we have a campus in Paris, in France and we have campuses in Great Britain, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Slovenia".
