Starting University Research

Reflection and Research

The university search process has two important and distinct components: reflection and research. Before starting the process, we encourage students to spend some time reflecting on their personal interests and strengths, as well as what their priorities are in a university experience.

Questions to ask yourself

• What subject do I enjoy most? 

• What academics and personal strengths do I have?

• What courses might incorporate my interests and strengths?

• Which universities have the course I'm interested and feel like a good fit given my unique personal preferences and priorities?
