Should I talk to several students rather than judging a university from one conversation?

Yes. Whenever possible, speaking with several students gives you a broader view, because one student’s experience may reflect their year, faculty, course choices, or personal circumstances. Ask comparable questions about classes, workload, student support, commuting, and extracurricular activities, and look for patterns rather than treating one answer as typical. Since student comments are personal experiences, confirm current policies and systems through official university information.
