What should I choose? A good environment, top university but in the countryside and doesn't have the course I wanna pursue or college school in the city and having a scholarship?

What keeps holding my thoughts back is if I choose to study in the countryside but I'm afraid that my city scholarship will remove because in the meantime there's still a covid-19 in my country so the classes are held online.

If I choose the university in the countryside, I'm still in the city because of online classes since there's still no face-to-face now. And no scholarship. But, if face-to-face classes will back again I will be in a good place. Top, big, & nature university.

If I choose a city college school, I'm still in the city but with a scholarship. And, pursuing the course I pursue. #college #scholarship #college-admissions #university #financial-aid #topuniversity #nature

Joe’s Answer

Don't choose based on where you want to be, choose based on what you want to study. Select schools based on their credibility, their success rate, the professors and subjects that interest you. No matter where the school is located, you'll make new friends and be able to find things to do outside of school socially.

Jianlin’s Answer

I would recommend to choose the school with the courses you are interested in. Many people say that interest is the best teacher. This is true. You will face challenges in your study and future career. If you are interested in what you are studying, you will actually have a lot of fun during the problem solving process. Regarding the scholarship, unless you cannot go to school without it, otherwise I would recommend not to put that as the first priority when you are considering a college or major. Your interest should be the first priority. Also note that there are financial support programs and/or part-time job opportunities in many colleges. You can ask the college admission office for more information. Good luck!

Cynthia’s Answer

It is important to have this conversation with your parents and to make sure you are making the correct decision. You need to make sure the college you want to attend has the program of study you are interested in. Also, I think it is important to take a trip and visit the colleges you want to attend in both the city and the country. You want to feel comfortable and know the school is a good fit for you and not wasting your time.

The second thing to think about is the financial aspect. Scholarship vs. no scholarship, cost of living, transportation. Make a list of attending school in the country vs. city to also help you with the decision. Hope this helps.

Best of Luck

Ai’s Answer

Rural universities offer green space, fresh air, and quite environment. And top schools often attract best professors and talented students. Their alumni network and student body are often very strong and close-knit. Also the alumni association is always willing to help students with career advice and internships jobs.
City universities are for students who want to experience the hustle and bustle of city life along with study. You will not have a dull moment for sure and will have so much to do and to see just outside of school. The city becomes of your college experience. However the living cost could be much higher than rural college’s even with Scholarship sometime. If you plan to work during college, city definitely offers more choices and opportunities.
In term of school settings, rural universities cannot be compared to city universities' since they are very different. It really depends on where you feel comfortable to live and study for next 4 years. But your major and interest are very important. If you think your interest and chosen major define your future dream, then follow your heart.
Good luck!
