Is Ghent University well known outside of Belgium
I am starting my masters in Ghent next semester and I'm worried about my CV. I want to make sure the name carries weight if I apply for jobs in Germany or the US later on.

map_readerGhent University is very famous worldwide since it is always in the top 100 to 150 in different rankings. It even has a campus in Songdo, South Korea. Admission is mostly about having the right prerequisites and paying the fees rather than being super selective.
Good luck

belgium_vibesdefnitly a good name to have on your resume - i am a designer in antwerp and i see it often. are you moving here alone or with friends?
leuven_dev_newbieThe reputation is great! But some students find the workload very hard if they are not academicly prepared for the level of study... It can be quite a shock - especially the exams!
wait_and_see2KU Leuven is still seen as more prestigious and selective than Ghent University (even if it is a matter of opinion)
