1. Check out the website – Most of the times the schools do their best to educate prospective students about their opportunities. Read their information carefully and don’t be afraid to contact the office to find out more!
2. Get in touch with the Alumni group – Often, the most sincere answers come from the actual students. Use social media like LinkedIn and Facebook to reach out to someone from your course of interest. Don’t forget it is also an excellent opportunity for networking.
3. Visit the campus – If possible, try to pay the school a visit! This way, you can get a sense of the environment you will be spending a lot of time in, and again, asking for opinions from current students is also a great idea.
4. Calculate the costs – The living cost in some cities is more expensive than others, make sure you are aware of it. It is also a good idea to check out scholarship opportunities!
