By now mot pf you will have heard back from several univeraities. Ideally most of your responses have been affirmative. This still leaves you with a major decision to make-
Deciding which university to attend!.
This is not as easy as it seems. If you have only one acceptance - then say yes as soon as possible.
Selecting from multiple schools is a question of deciding where your priorities lie.
Factors that people claim are important are
1. setting - rural or urban
2. climate
3. ranking
4. career support and job opportunities on graduation
These are all important issues to consider but keep in mind that you are essentially choosing a plce to call home for the next 4 years ( often this tag will last your whole life)
Keep in mind that the intellectual environment at university is just as important s the physical one.Ask your self these questions
1. Do you want to be at the top of your class or do you want to be intellectually challenged on a daily basis.
2. Do you prefer a collaborative environment or do you thrive on competition?
3. Do you like meeting new people daily or do you want a core set of 5-10 friends that will be friends for life.
4. Are you interested in a specific subject of study or do you want to explore and search for your passion.
Anser these honestly to get a feel of what you want from college and see which university give you the best vibe. Talk to current students ( the admissions Office will be able to connect to) and alumni.
Universities often have special visitation days for accepted student - Do this if possible.
Once you decide - acept quickly. Also do send a rejection letter to any other options. This will allow them to start clearing waitlists.
