TiU abbreviation also used by other universities

The new official abbreviation for Tilburg University is TiU. The extra ‘i’ prevents confusion over names of other Dutch universities, such as Delft (Delft University of Technology) and Eindhoven (TU/e). Whether TiU is causing confusion internationally, is the question.

It turns out that TiU is also the abbreviation of the American Trinity International University, and to make things even more confusing for international students and their parents, thisuniversity has an article about The Dutch Way on its website.

Japan has Tokyo International University (TIU), founded in 1965, and in Missouri (United States) is  a university which is called The International University, with the exact same abbreviation TiU.
