"The campus is beautiful, and the staff and academic community is and have been always very welcoming and supportive. I have met some great people, and have had the opportunity to take part in various talks. events and organisations which I have found invaluable to my experience as a law student."

The Best Fit
We generally advise you should go to the university that best fits you regardless of how prestigious a school is. Evaluate all aspects of the university such as campus type, location, student involvement opportunities, and of course, prestigious reputation, if that is indeed important to you. If the university and you aren't a good match, you will be unhappy regardless of the prestige so find one that fit your personality, academic needs, and strengths. And if you want to pick your universities based on student satisfaction, work opportunities, or research prestige, our advisors are here to help guide you to the ones best for you. There is not a one-size-fits-all university, it's personal, and your search and selection of the universities you apply to should be personal as well. Stuck on where to start?
