<p>I live in the UK, and I haven’t even heard of that university. Don’t know if that helps…but I would consider LSE over it any day of the week.</p>
<p>yeah me too, I mean if it really is so good, shouldn’t it be a sorta brand-name…but is it worth getting into over UOIT/Mcmaster(Canada)?</p>
<p>Do you know what kind of ranking it is? If you could find out what criteria they used in their ranking methodology, then you would have a better idea about where Tillburg beats the bigger names.</p>
<p>I would personally always go for a big name uni.</p>
