even if less legitimate from china. it really depends if the university has resources to advance your career, like "extra-carricular volunteering, thats the most important part, most universities dont have it or they make it very difficult to find it. my state uni was not a prestigious uni, and most people that go there regretted it(jjust looka t the yelp). and then western countries might not recognize degrees from china, or many courses.

the prestige is probably useful for a select number of majors, like political, lawyer, maybe some MD schools.
