Advantages: Great development

Disadvantages: Cost is an issue

It is very important when deciding upon which university course to undertake that you do as much research as possible as if you are taking a full time course then the subject and the destination you choose are going to be your home for the next few years especially if you study away from home.

The course choice is the first priority, some people have a set career that they wat to pursue and therefore the decision over what course to study is an easy one as if you want to be a doctor or a vet then your choice is effectively made for you. For me it was an easy choice as I always wanted to be a dance and as such the main decision was what route I wanted to follow into the profession where a university education is not a requirement.

If you have no real idea then it is important to choose a subject whiuch you enjoy and are passionate about, remember you could be studying for three to four years so it is imporatnt to look at the whole course and not just the first year.

When deciding on what type of institution you need to know what your predicted grades will get you into, pointless applying for Oxford or Cambridge if you are not predicted at least three A grades, similarly you do not want to sell yourself short either. You also need to decide on whether you want to be in a big city or on a self contained campus as the experience can be very different. I always wanted to study in London as that is where the action is so it was again easy for me. Always make sure you visit for the open days or just on your volition as it will help you decide.

Finally you have to consider the costs as the other option is to live at home and study which can be cheaper but you lose out on the independence studying away can bring.
