The idea of a "good school" is sort of a myth. Universities generate pieces of paper that are more or less treated as commodities in the real world. The main reason to pay more for one piece of paper over another is the networking opportunities that might come with the more expensive piece of paper, if you're into making friends with rich failsons.

As far as actual learning outcomes (which have little to do with the piece of paper), that is more about the department you study in, your class schedule, and the specific professors you have. One department might be amazing, but the next might be an incompetent circus. The idea of ranking entire universities irrespective of area of study is a scam. Single departments at relatively large universities are subject to massive changes in educational quality if even 2-3 good professors decide to retire or otherwise leave.

Trepanning

​

Trepanning, also known as trepanation, trephination, trephining or making a burr hole is a surgical intervention in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the human skull. The intentional perforation of the cranium exposes the dura mater to treat health problems related to intracranial diseases or release pressured blood buildup from an injury. It may also refer to any "burr" hole created through other body surfaces, including nail beds. A trephine is an instrument used for cutting out a round piece of skull bone to relieve pressure beneath a surface.
