CHOOSING A UNIVERSITY?
READ SOME STUDENTS' TIPS.
A
The head of my school wanted me
to do a degree in law at a prestigious
university. He said it would give me a better
chance of getting a job, but I wanted to
do something creative so I chose a degree
at a university with a good reputation
for marketing. It's a vocational course,
but it does involve studying economics
and psychology, too. People are always
asking why I chose this university, but I've
been really pleased with my course. One
university isn't better than another. The
important question is which course is the
best fit for you?

B
A lot of people start a course and then
drop out so it's important to research
courses carefully. My film studies degree
has a good balance of theory and practical
components, which is important for me. We
usually have lectures in the morning and then
work in the film studio in the afternoon. My
friend is forever complaining that his course
doesn't offer enough practical work, but he
probably didn't find out enough about it before
he applied. The other thing is location. I chose
to be in London because it's got a vibrant film
culture and it's easy to keep up-to-date with
popular trends. The only thing I don't like is the
cost of rent. I pay much more than friends who
are studying in other cities.

Going to university is a unique opportunity
and, while the course is important, it's
more about the student experience. That's
why I chose a small campus. It's a close-
knit community and the student facilities are
excellent. With so many extracurricular activities,
it's been easy to make friends. I've been a
member of the Debating Society since my first
year and now I'm President of the Student
Union. I think getting a degree is only part of
why we go to university, and the other skills I've
learnt will help me to find a job.

DMy advice when looking at
universities is to think of the three
Cs: city life, course modules and career
prospects. With the high cost of student
ees, you have to think about your
career goals. See if the course or uni
offers work placement opportunities. I
was particularly attracted to my course
because it gave me a chance to work
for a year. I'm doing my placement now,
and I love it! I've worked in different local
government departments and, as a result,
I know I want to work in education policy
when I graduate.

I chose a course at my local
university because it's more
convenient. I've been living at home this
year, which means I've been able to save
a lot of money and I won't be so much
in debt when I finish. Some of my friends
are living in halls of residence and have
to do part-time jobs to help pay for their
accommodation. My parents understand
that I've got a lot of coursework so I don't
really have to do chores at home. I think
it's good to have the support of your
family at uni.
