The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 The (Mis)perception of Excellence \u2013 9<\/p>\n
The fact is that the \u2018elite\u2019 universities in Germany are not always any better than other institutions. With regard to academic advisers, for example, students in almost every field of concentration at \u2018non-elite\u2019 universities feel that they receive better advice and assistance. And as far as equipment and furnishings are concerned, questionnaire results can be surprising: law school graduates and students believe that the elite universities are much worse in this area than ordinary universities. These results are prevalent throughout the study: although the \u2018universities of excellence\u2019 are slightly ahead overall, in many aspects the \u2018ordinary\u2019 institutions are significantly better.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Kirchgessner, Kilian, \u201cGefuehlte Exzellenz\u201d, Die Zeit, 02\/2008<\/p>\n *The Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 67 among the world\u2019s universities.
