Hey, sup?

Well, I've recently finished my high school and now i'm searching for a University in either Canada or UK, and maybe in the USA. Well, right now i'm a bit confused about my future (what i want to become, and what to study etc.), so I'm looking for guidance from others who have attended universities or have finished them.

So I just wanted to know, what are some key advantages of your university and maybe some disadvantages. Also, what should i look for in a university. You know, those stuffs... Thanks.

That makes sense, heavily populated universities may be difficult. Thanks for that. So what university do you go to Bennett, and why did you choose that one?

It depends where you want to go to uni as location can result in alot of variables (ie., some countries have fees, some have loan help, some are free, etc.).

Well, it has taken me years to figure out what I actually want to do with my life so at the tender age of 26, I am on my way back to university (to do computer games software development).

Whilst I realise this doesn't help your present situation, my advise would be to choose a course with many paths opening at the end of it because it could be a long time before you are sure of what you want from life.

My advice, don't choose Roehampton. nuff said.

In all seriousness, visit the Uni, ask questions and speak to the students....get a feel for the place and definitly make sure you understand the course inside out, often they can be very deceptive to what you will actually study and learn.
