Factors when choosing a university:

Since there are many universities to choose from, you should be clear in your mind what your expectations and goals are for yourself.  Once you have that clear in your mind you will be able to choose from a narrowed list of University for your further studies. Keep in my your goals and ambitions as that would be more to your advantage.  You wouldn't want to do something you don't like now would you?

The main factors you should be considering are the campus, what majors does the university provide, how the admission process goes by, attendance and the cost of the course you plan on attending, how reputed the university is.

This brief overview will be able to guide you through your first admission.  A more detailed post to come soon.
