PARENT’S GUIDE TO UNIVERSITY SELECTION
Choosing the right university or college can be one of the most challenging aspects of the admissions journey. With thousands of outstanding institutions and tens of thousands of programs to consider, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Many parents and students find themselves unsure of where to begin.
Despite great intentions, parent's approach to university selection often misses the mark...
Following Friends
While it may seem tempting to choose a university based on where friends are going, this approach can limit your child's experience and opportunities.
Opting for Local Options
Though local options might be convenient and cost-effective, choosing based on geographic proximity alone can restrict your child’s potential to find the best fit.
Relying on Peer Recommendations
Friends and fellow parents may offer well-meaning advice, but their suggestions are often based on limited experience and may not align with your child's unique needs.
Going with Popular Choices
A university’s reputation doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best fit for your child. The real question is: What is the best fit FOR MY CHILD?
