Question about Balseiro Institute

[Anymodal]

Hello. This is my first post. here it goes...

[PLAIN]http://www.cab.cnea.gov.ar/oferta/galeria/img/balseiro/001balseiro.jpg

Currently I am studying Eng. I am considering to apply for entering the Balseiro Institute to study physics. Here in argentina its the most prestigious institution of science. But I am not really sure about its level and recognition in international circles.
Have you ever heard of it?
Can you tell me something about it? -anything you can tell me is good- Or at least find out something for me?
Is it well recognized?
How is its level compared to any international famous university like MIT, plank institute, or any other?

thank you

It is very well known. There are many graduates at both the "undergraduate" (Master's; the institute only grants degrees equivalent to Master's in other countries) and graduate level (PhD). You can google many examples. Some to mention are: Jorge Pullin, Orlando Auciello, Pablo Zavattieri, and others.
