Do you know choosing a wrong University or college can seriously hamper your future. As every University/college says they are the best it is really difficult to decide. Our team of education experts has designed a free guide that will help you in decision making. So it is important that you must ready it with full attention and ready it 2-3 times for better understanding.

1. Do your research: Don't just choose a school primarily because someone said it was a good school. Generally research every school you wish to attend. Research in general to find different schools to apply to. You can look online or use guidebooks, published by a number of foundations, talking about the relative merits of different schools. Remember to take everything with a grain of salt, however. Many of the rankings lists, for example, require schools to pay a fee to even appear on the list.

2. Look at lots of schools: Don’t just look at one or two schools. Look at several in-state, out of state, and maybe even a few international schools. It is important to have lots of options and to know what is available to you. Applying to only one or two schools isn’t a very good idea, as it can be difficult to get into many schools and you may not be accepted.

3. Consider the school’s location. The school’s location will also be important to your education goals. If you are wanting to be in a program which would benefit from internships, such as a business major or a medicine program, you will want the school to be in a location which will offer you good real-world experiences.

*Business majors, for example, will benefit from choosing schools in big cities, where they can easily set up internships or introduce themselves into environments in which they can get jobs after graduation.
*Medical students will want to be near major hospitals (a variety if possible, to experience different specialties).

4. Find out about facilities and available resources. You will want to decide what kind of facilities and resources are important to you. Some schools provide health plans, different schools have different meal options, different housing options will be available, some schools will have gyms, some might have hospitals, special library facilities, theaters, or any number of other facilities.

5. Apply to more than one school: Most experts recommend 6. This way, you can have more options to choose from if something happens (example: not getting enough aid, getting rejected or wait listed, changing your mind, etc)

6. Consider the school’s cost: You will need to take a hard look at the money you have available to you (via family, scholarships, grants, and loans) versus how much the school costs. Even with loans, more expensive schools may be out of the question.

7. Make sure the college or program is accredited. For example, Engineering & Technical courses in India are accredited by AICTE. Medicine schools use MCI. A college lacking accreditation may hurt your employability, chances of getting into graduate school, in addition to possibly having to take courses over if you decide to switch from an unaccredited school to an accredited one. Apart from these schools need accreditation from NAAC, UGC, DCI, INC, State Government, Governing University, NBA, IAO and many more.
