Trying to decide on which university to go to isn’t easy. There are probably lots of things running through your mind. Will you like it there? Will it guarantee the career you’ve dreamed of after graduation? What if you enrol only to find out that you’re miserable there?
You’re right to wonder about these things. You are, after all, going to attend the university for three to four years. We wanna make it your decision making a little easier by letting you in on what kind of reasons to avoid when you’re trying to decide which university to attend:
#1 I wanna go there to follow my high school BFFs
You don’t wanna be a sheep that follows your friends everywhere—especially when you already have your own university in mind to attend.
#2 Aiyah simply choose lah… no time to decide
Your university decision will affect the next there to four years of your life and will determine how your career will kickstart after graduation. Don’t be careless about it!
#3 My whole family went there so I should follow their lead
Even if your grandparents, parents, and siblings went to that university, you must ensure that the university makes sense for your needs and ambitions.
#4 My parents told me to go so I go lah
Yes, your parents will be the one paying for your university fees but you should also consider whether it is the right place for you to study.
#5 Very close to my house so it’s easy for me
You probably like the idea of chilling in your bedroom, eating the meals your mom prepared and doing laundry at home, but you won’t find independence there.
#6 It’s the #1 university so I should just attend it
Rankings do show the quality of the university, but there are other things to keep in mind too. While it may be ranked high overall, you should also check whether your chosen course and its staff has an equally good reputation.
Your university decision should be something you’ve thought about for the long-term, not short. Brickfields Asia College could be the place for you to make your dreams come true. You can pursue a Pre-University, Undergraduate or Postgraduate courses in Law and even have the option of furthering your studies overseas!
