Mistake 1. Don’t visit the campus (it’s rona some campuses are offer online tours) Mistake 2. Don’t follow others to college(do what’s best for YOU) Mistake 3.Think to specific or to broad(find a balance) Mistake 4. Assume what education is needed(talk to others about the correct classes/etc. you need for what your trying to achieve)
It really doesn't matter where you go as long as it's an ACCREDITED post-secondary school. We all know so many students who graduate from so-called best schools and have the personality and skills of a rock. Book knowledge is so different than applying what you learned. We all know people who have come from not-the-best schools and have succeeded. I'm glad that I didn't go where my high school friends went - it allowed me to grow up, expand my network of friends, etc.
They make good points, and give very valuable information in this video (especially the bf/gf part). I also just made a video expanding on choosing universities from a student's perspective! I hope it can be helpful to you if you're still indecisive on your decision. Take your time when making this choice, it's too important to rush into.
Yes, that's a hardship. I'm international so I know how hard that can be. But, most schools offer amazing virtual tours and you can have video calls with actual students to get to know more the school!
What needs to be discussed and re-examined about college and university, is why university education gets so much praise in our society compared to college education and its graduates, or why college isn't suitable for many employers. It is utterly ridiculous that students who graduate from university after writing essays get more praise and options than college students who do practical work, research assignments, work with other students to complete large and strenuous projects (rather than get marks for discussion (which you can learn to do while working)), college students are often instructed by people who are or have been professionals in the field. Our society needs to learn that college education is just as important as university and often times more so. Having been to both, I would certainly take college over university. Some professions may benefit greatly from university, but they should not get so much prestige.
I’ve never rlly seen ppl put college and university on different pedestals. Only reason I thought it was better as a kid was cuz university sounds better than college cuz the name. But now choosing my school I don’t see a difference because it all depends on ur job and the education u want.
Dont complicate education. Theyre all profit companies. Just pick one thing that has demand. Example being engineeering, accounting, a trade And know which specific job you can get after yoire done and build those skills. Keep it short. Example choose 2 jobs max you can build your skills with. Be focused and have depth. Example for trades pick plumbing, heavy duty mechanic, truck driving more laid back, equipment operating, engineering. You get it. Dont complicate things. And save, and invest the rest, and build.up. and build a company on the side if you can and want but dont think this is easy its not. So take that in mind. So if youre young. Have direction at a young age. Choose a program, know what job you can get when youre done focused, save and invest. And dont waste your money. Dont think mbas are valuable theyre not. Unless you go to a top uni and have a netwrok connection beforehand. If u dont youd be wastine your time. If choosing a masters pick something narrow like structureal engineering, data analysis, construction management. Something technical.
I can't choose. I'm scared of growing also another reason I can't choose is what if my grades don't match up with what I want to do. I mean I'm somehow one of the top students but what if my grades just don't match up and I already have some university. What if I go to a university that I want but I pass and graduate but no job...
I need help. I have this school I LOVE but would need to take out some loans to finish paying my room& board. BUT I have a full ride somewhere else. Both are small private Uni’s but I hate the second option. Is it worth taking out loans to go to the school I love?
@paola Aguilar Hi. Idk if you’ve made your decision yet but hear me out. You applied to the school you got a full ride for for a reason. Look at the option and think why do I hate this school. Talk to current students and alumni, email professors. A full ride is an incredible option but a place to call Home is also important. Look at both colleges and narrow it down to the opportunities you think you will get after college. Which will lead you to a better income, opportunity, internships, connection etc etc. Also it counts like your tuition is covered for one school and all you need is room and board? In that case get a job that way the next year you can live off campus and pay rent perhaps. Personally I think a full ride is an awesome opportunity and if you take it you don’t have anything to lose but I can understand your wanting to go to a college you love, so good luck, best of wishes and no matter what you choose you’ll go great because you are very clearly intelligent.
@@sisyphus645 hi! I actually didn’t go to either!! I got a full ride at big school and I’ve been there ever since! I love it, I’d say you can always make a big school feel small but you can never make a small school feel big.
I’m so confused. From what I know, college and university are basically the same thing. The only difference is that universities have graduate programs while colleges are solely undergraduate-based.
Ms Creativity look into the universities you want to apply to and research about how they accept international students and the process. Also start researching now because it's better to be safe than sorry
This is helpful but how are you defining college. In the United States there is not difference as they all.provide a bachelors degree unless you are referring to a 2 year junior community College. While I have carved my careers with 3 graduate degrees and a doctorate I use all of my degrees. What youbmentioned of mistakes are correct. Also in addition while listening to other mentors listen to yourself its what you want. Thank you for sharing this video.
chill kid. Im turning 19 and have to choose within 2 weeks and still have no idea. if anything having no idea is a blessing since it means youre open to and looking at so many possibilities and options youre bound to have an amazing future
@Nicholas Colavita as far as I know yes. there are rugby teams for all those schools I applied for and they are in canada not USA haha. my concern is that I'll have to spend time studying those tough courses and not be able to compete and train
@@josiahtaylor2471 i am an international student do u thinl canada is a better option or usa europe ? And is it easy to get into uni of toronto or waterloo what r u studying how did u choose i was thinking biochem forensic , journalism or poli sci or graphic design theres sooo many option what do i do ?

Mistake 4. Assume what education is needed(talk to others about the correct classes/etc. you need for what your trying to achieve)
Her: mistake 1, people don’t visit campus. Me in the middle of rona: 👁👄👁
Joke's on me I can't visit the campus because of the Coronavirus outbreak ):

It’s not easy to go visit 4 campus’s lol
Richard was just waiting there the whole time lol

Loved this interview!!!
Why do they talk so fast tho?
I liked it hahah. I enjoyed it, don't know why
I have no idea. English speakers don't always talk this fast lmao.
I agree LOL
Each segment usually has a time limit so they have to fit everything in
It's because you're foreign that you think that
I’m sorry for everyone who’s thinking this choice is the hard bit...
Richard was so awkward in the beginning HAHAHA 😂😂
Ok, it's so easy and cheap to visit the campus. It's not like the campus is in another state or country...
wish i wasn’t international then i could actually visit schools :(
same
Yes, that's a hardship. I'm international so I know how hard that can be. But, most schools offer amazing virtual tours and you can have video calls with actual students to get to know more the school!

That's all what I know as well
I live in Trinidad and I would LOVE to go a school out of the country I'm 14 does anyone know how I should go about the Idea
Ms Creativity look into the universities you want to apply to and research about how they accept international students and the process. Also start researching now because it's better to be safe than sorry
Be a community college student first then transfer.
Visit websites and look under international students
Definitely pursue the idea! It was one of the best decisions in my life
I live over the ocean, and I have to visit the campus, right? Nice tip
Tip is nice
Which page in facebook?
