Cheers everyone!
I've been accepted to the Int'l Business Law and Globalisation program offered by Utrecht University and also to the LLM program offered by King's College London. I know that rankings should not be the ultimate reason of choice, but according to the 2008 ARWU Top 100 European Universities, Utrecht ranks 9th and King's ranks 25th.
I'm only concerned with the quality of education and the university's renown. Could you guys give me your thought on the matter? I appreciate it....
Regards,
Diego
Help! KCL or Utrecht

Hi Diego. I am also from Brazil. From my perspective, I think you should go to KCL. It's sad, but I think Brazilian lawyers tend to think London and US programmes are better than programmes from other countries. So if you're planning to come back, KCL will look better on your resamete. I personally want to go to Edinburgh (I will be applying next year), but because of this prejudice against schools based outside London and US, I might end up going to some other place... assuming that I'm accepted anywhere and that I will be able to afford a London programme.

Thanks for your reply Beacon. I've decided to accept KCL's offer, considering its renown and program possibilities.... I was accepted by Edinburgh as well, so if you want any info on that matter feel free to send me a private msg, ok?
Cheers,
Diego
