dessskris Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 well it's your choice. it's your life. YOU have to be the one who decides. you can't let somebody choose for you, because it might not be the best for you.I suggest you to look into these factors:1. course structure. what modules will you have to take? what does the course include? this varies across universities so you really should check.2. location. where are you originally from? any continent preference? got weather problems? accent problems or language barriers? perhaps you want to go somewhere you've been to before? or somewhere you've got relatives?3. tuition fees. how crazy and how worthwhile is it? any scholarship offered?4. accommodation. can you live on campus throughout the duration of your course? at what price?5. extracurriculars. any clubs or societies you're particularly interested in? what's the uni active in? if you're a tennis player for example, surely you dont wanna go to a uni which doesn't have a tennis court.6. career prospects / uni ranking. sometimes some companies like to hire graduates from top tier universities. if you'd like to work in the US for example then choose to go to Miami or UPenn. if you'd like to work in the UK then go for St Andrews. etc. and also maybe you might want to find out if the uni offers internship programmes or a year abroad or student exchange or something...that's all I could think of right now. you need to look up those things and choose wisely. choose the one that suits you best. you know yourself best, you know what you want best, so you're the best person to choose which uni you should go to. we folks can only present subjective preferences.also talk to your parents and your teachers. they could be very helpful. especially your parents cuz they will obviously have some preference on where you should go.good luck! 7 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
