Advise sought: University rep or Supervisor rep more important?

Hi all

I have an offer from a not so prestigious university but with a supervisor I like and seems active in terms of research/publications in their field and a studentship has been offered by that Uni, and another offer from a prestigious university but I'm not too sure about the supervisor even though they are well-known etc in their field with no studentship.

Do you think the reputation of the University is more important than the reputation of the supervisor?

The field I'm going into is International Relations

Thanks in advance

Hi all

1)I'm wondering how long it took to hear back once you applied for a PhD? It's been about 5 weeks since i submitted and no response from any of the unis yet.

2) Would it be a bad idea to do a part time research job whilst doing my PhD in terms of it interfering with time spent on my PhD? (i'm in the social sciences and looking to earn money whilst doing the PhD)

Thanks in advance
