I’m applying for universities this fall, so I’ve started to do research for them. I don’t have any experience with this, and I don’t really know what I should be looking for. Right now I have found all the major universities that have Bachelors in the field that I want to go into (Mechatronics), and I have added a little bit of info on each as well as their requirements in an obsidian doc, but what other info would be worth looking into and adding to my document?
(Edited to include my field of interest)
Depending on what you’re planning on going into, don’t lock yourself into going to university. My wife spent 3 years of half course load at university while working in the same field she was trying to study in and didn’t get her degree, or actually get into the faculty she needed for that degree. She is now 5 months from her degree after spending a year and a half at college in a workplace program. Academia is disgustingly bloated and “you have to prove you want to be here before you can go into what you actually want to learn” for certain disciplines. College is a perfectly good, or better option depending on what you are going into.
