STUDENTS dream of attending prestigious universities for many reasons. However, I personally believe that focusing on what skills you can build at a university is more important than chasing after places in prestigious educational institutions. Of course, it is not totally wrong to check university rankings. Yet, how important are these global rankings for students who want to get the best jobs after graduating?
Students should pay close attention to other considerations such as locations, courses offered and the university’s industry connections, all of which are equally as important as ranking.
