Should I apply to a university even if I am not completely sure it suits me?
You may apply even if you are not completely sure the university is right for you. However, applying usually does not commit you to enrolling, while it may require an application fee and time to prepare documents. Research the subjects you would study, teaching and research features, costs, and commuting or living conditions, then compare them with other options before deciding.
Key points
- Check what you can study and the program’s teaching or research features.
- Identify important personal conditions, such as costs, commuting, admissions procedures, and required documents.
- In many cases, you can still decide whether to enroll after receiving an offer by comparing it with other options.
Things to check
- Application fees, deadlines, and the rules for withdrawing or completing enrollment procedures vary by university, faculty, and academic year, so check the official information.
