How important is the "Brand" Name of the University?

Re: How important is the "Brand" Name of the University?

Brand names are important in everything even when it comes to universities.A top company will look for a top university/program.With that said, it doesn't mean that a graduate from a not so well known university should pack up his boots and go to Tibet.Passion and drive are just as important. People who rely on their program to get them to succeed will only go so far.Like somebody said, it helps in getting that first job but beyond that, it's what you make of it.
