UNIVERSITY
Many entry-level jobs nowadays require a university education. As a result, university applications have skyrocketed.
With this development and restricted class sizes, competition has become fierce. Students must now prove themselves, both inside and outside the school setting, to earn a position in well-recognized post-secondary institutions.
Tuition fees, accommodations, books, food,
and other costs associated with university life have made higher learning a
major investment. As a result, high school students must take the time and
effort to decide which university is the best for their career goals.
But before you start looking at universities, you should first ask yourself
if university is truly right for you.
In the table below, you'll find some general factors you should consider when deciding upon your post-secondary education: University or College? Which one suits your needs and desires?
| University | College | |
| Learning Theories and Concepts | Mostly | Some |
| Practical Knowledge Used on the Job | Some | Mostly |
| Hands-On Experience | Some | Mostly |
| Co-op Opportunities | Available | Available |
| Conducting Research in New Fields | During Graduate Studies | Very Little |
| A "Guaranteed" Job upon Graduation | Almost None | Almost None |
We hope the RADS will help you make the right decision!
