What to Keep in Mind While Choosing Your Dream University? 

Choosing Your Course  The most important thing while choosing a university abroad is which course you want to pursue. Identify your passions, strengths, weaknesses and then choose a course that resonates with you. See the course syllabus for its duration, modules, course electives, subject matter and subject matter. Gives you more flexibility and variety of topics.

Cost of Education  Studying abroad is an expensive affair. It is important to look at the total cost of education in a foreign country. Tuition fees in some universities may be high but the cost of living in the country may be low or vice versa. It is important to consider both university expenses and cost of living when choosing a university abroad. Also, consider the return on investment on the cost of your education.

Education Prospects When choosing a university abroad, research extensively on the education prospects of the course you wish to pursue and the country. Also, check university and subject wise rankings and reviews. Students often take up part-time jobs to meet their expenses and hence it is important to check job opportunities and related guidelines while studying abroad. If you are planning to stay in the country after completing your degree, you can check its market demand and post-study work opportunities. 

Immigration Rules When choosing a university abroad, you should check out the immigration rules and regulatins of the country. Also, check for post-study work visas and part-time job rules for international students. For example, the US has stricter immigration policies as compared to the UK and Canada. The UK has introduced the Graduation Immigration Route (GIR) which allows students graduating from UK universities a two-year post-study work visa.

Reliable information  Your decision should be based on real and factual information. The best way to take the right decision is to learn from knowledgeable platforms and professionals. See university websites for course related information and student forums for a wider spectrum of information. At Jamboree we thoroughly research and inform students about their chosen courses, universities and countries. This helps the students to take well informed decisions.

University feedback When choosing a university abroad, check for its on and off-campus opportunities such as accommodation, library, labs, etc. For more insights into university life, go through its alumni study and work fields. You can get in touch with its alumni or current students via Linkedin or social media platforms. Jamboree also helps students connect easily with former and current students.

Adaptability  One of the top factors to consider when choosing a university abroad is the culture, lifestyle and opportunities available. Moving to another country involves a cultural shift and intercultural communication. Before choosing a university abroad, check how well you can adjust to the new country. For example, are you open to changing your food habits or learning a new language (in case you are opting for a non-English speaking country) or likely to adapt to its climate and culture?
