When evaluating Canadian universities, what matters most to your decision?

Overall university ranking and prestige—I want the most recognized name General reputation plus location, but I haven't researched specific program quality yet Program-specific excellence, faculty expertise, and how it aligns with my career goals All of the above: program quality, campus fit, financial implications, and career outcomes

How prepared are you financially for your university choice?

I haven't calculated total costs yet—just looking at tuition fees I've estimated tuition but haven't researched scholarships or financial aid options I've calculated total costs and looked at some scholarship opportunities I have a complete financial plan including scholarships, aid, and ROI for my program

What's your current stage in the university selection process?

Just starting to think about university—haven't visited any campuses or spoken to students I've done some research online but haven't visited campuses or connected with current students I've visited 1-2 campuses and talked to a few current students about their experiences I've thoroughly researched multiple universities, visited campuses, and spoken extensively with current students

How clear are you about what type of campus environment suits you best?

I haven't thought about whether I prefer big cities or small towns—location isn't my focus I have a general preference but haven't considered how it affects my learning style and career opportunities I know whether I prefer urban or rural settings and understand the trade-offs between them I've evaluated my personality, career field requirements, and how campus environment impacts both my wellbeing and opportunities
