Before you shortlist

Map the campus, not just the university

A university can teach different degrees at different locations. Use the campus named beside each program, then check the class building and travel route before visiting admissions.

Compare a full student budget

Ask for a program-specific assessment with the same academic year, semester and load. Add your own transport or accommodation, meals and required materials; a published tuition example does not cover every student's expenses.

Check admission and funding separately

An application to a public institution is not a guarantee of admission or tuition assistance. Ask admissions about applicant categories and the financial-aid office about eligibility, documents and charges outside a funding benefit.
