The road to university is not always a straight, obstacle-free avenue. Yet, it is not a completely bumpy road. When preparing to pursue a higher education, you must thoroughly plan your journey - Where are you going and how are you going to get there? What? Where? Why?
The What: What am I going to going to pursue as a major?
The Where: Where am I going to pursue this major?
The Why: Why am I pursuing this major?
As Caribbean students, location is a crucial factor when deciding where to go to university. Also, prospective students must bear in mind that there are reputable universities available to them right in the Caribbean such as: University of the West Indies, University of the Virgin Islands, University of Puerto Rico and North Caribbean University. The universities in the Caribbean are very similiar to those in the United States, Canada and Europe so never underestimate the Caribbean universities.
Some students want to get away from home and experience new surroundings and therefore go to the United States, Canada or Europe. At the same time, students must be ready and willing to embrace all that comes along with going to school in these countries. Students must be willing to embrace diversity on a much larger scale, different climatic conditions, food, clothing and overall a different way of life.
Now I leave you to think about your WHAT, WHERE and WHY.....
