You don’t need to know exactly what you want to study, but it’s helpful to identify at least a few you’re interested in before starting your research. Need help getting started- use these websites – Ontario Universities’ Info, Ontario Colleges and SchoolFinder to see lists of which programs are offered at which school.
Be clear on admission requirements as they vary by school and program. It’s Really important to know what target grades you should be aiming for and what courses are mandatory before you apply.
Education is an investment, this investment includes many costs such as tuition, fees, textbooks, residence, food, entertainment, clothes, etc. Make sure you are clear on all the costs.
The program choice is only one part of your experience . The things that happen outside of the classroom are a big part of the student experience. From the size of the city, clubs and athletics, to mental health support and other services. These are big factors that may sway your decision.
Do you want to travel on an exchange in your upper years, or spend a summer volunteering in another country? Does your program have co-op opportunities or internships? Is the co-op paid? These are all important to consider.
You might have a career in mind already, or you’re choosing your program based purely on a passion for the subject. Either way it’s helpful to know what opportunities your degree might provide for the future and if there is work in that field. Try this resource to research – Job Bank Canada.
