Tips on Choosing a University

By: Nick Sanders

Tips on Choosing a University

Choosing a UK university is a very big decision, and one that will impact your life for many years after you finish. There are a lot of deciding factors that should be involved when you are picking the best university for your needs, as well as your future dreams; these will also need to be considered carefully. It's very easy to make the decision purely on where your friends go, or the reputation of a university, but it's important to study the facts for each option and make an individual decision.

The first thing to consider is your preferred course of study. Choosing what you want to study shouldn't be too difficult, as you will be narrowed by the GCSE and A level subjects that you took, and the grades that you have (or will be predicted to have). By this point you will also have an idea of what subjects you enjoy and excel in. If you're unsure talk to your parents, and if possible, to a school or college guidance counsellor. If you don't have one, then there are organizations, such as Connexions, who will help you make your decision. When you have decided what course you wish to study, research which universities offer similar programmes.

The next thing to look at is the location of the university. Some people dream of escaping the small towns and making a name for themselves at a big university, whilst others prefer to stay closer to home and their friends. How far away you are willing to travel will be a limiting factor, so it's worth considering carefully.

Researching the transport and accommodation availability at universities may help you decide if you'd be happy being that far from home. How long will it take to get home, if you really need a break? Is this transport regular? Will it involve flying, a train, or driving? How much will it cost each time? If you can, travel to the university and spend the night on campus. Make sure you feel safe and happy where it is, and that you know how to get there and back. Check the place out at both day and night, to get a real feel for the area and establish your 'gut feeling'.

Now you've narrowed your list, it's time to look at the extracurricular activities that your university offers. If you're a music lover, is there a choir or band? Is there a running club or a gym, if you want one? Or a drama club? Contrary to what your school says, time at university won't take up every minute, so having some interests outside of just your course will help keep you busy and stimulated.

Next it's time to look at the costs involved. How much will your course cost? What extra equipment are you likely to need? Make a list of the basic costs, such as your course cost and enrolment costs, and the associated costs, such as paying for food and transport. Make this list for each university that you are considering.

Now look into what financial help is available from each institution. While student finance will be available to most people, some universities offer grants or lower costs in certain circumstances. It's worth researching whether you will save money if you choose a particular university, as you will eventually have to pay back your student loan.

Finally, look at the reputations of the universities you have left. The opinions of students who are doing or have done your course are important; however, remember that people can be biased. A better indication will be to look at where the university is ranked. You should now have narrowed your choice down to one or two universities, and whichever you choose will fill your needs and give you the best start to university life.
