What actually matters
Start with the constraints you cannot change — budget, location and eligibility — and only then compare the options that remain. Most poor decisions come from comparing on a single metric.
- Confirm approval and affiliation before anything else
- Compare total cost of attendance, not just tuition
- Read the placement report line by line
- Talk to at least two current students
Step by step
- List your non-negotiables
- Shortlist 8–10 realistic options
- Rank them on fee, outcome and fit
- Validate with a counsellor before locking choices
