For students comparing Australian universities

Before you choose a university, check what really matters.

A seven-page guide to help you compare your course, university and career direction before you accept an offer.

Priyanka Saluja

Hi, I’m Priyanka. I made the guide I wish more students had before making such an expensive decision.

Built from my own international student journey, careful research and more than 500 student conversations.

A real look inside

This is what you are actually buying.

No mystery cover and no vague promise. These are pages from the guide. I have cropped them so you can see the quality without giving away the whole thing.

You will be writing on this one, not just reading it. β†—

Here is how I would do it

Job first. Then course. Then university.

Most students start with a famous university name. The guide helps you work backwards from the future you are trying to build.

  1. 01
    Understand the three rules

    Five minutes to understand the things that shape the rest of the decision.

  2. 02
    Find your course

    Connect your study choice to the occupations and work it may lead towards.

  3. 03
    Read the six traps

    Check the common assumptions that can push students towards the wrong option.

  4. 04
    Compare universities

    Only after the earlier checks do you compare names, campuses, fees and rankings.

  5. 05
    Choose your final three

    Take your shortlist through one final practical check before committing.

A note from me
β€œA university can be good and still not be the right university for you. Start with the course, the cost and the life you want after graduation.”

That is the thinking behind every page in this guide.

Before you commit

A rushed decision can cost much more than $19.

Not only in money. It can also mean lost time, a course that does not suit your direction or questions you wish you had asked earlier.

01

Paying a deposit before properly comparing your options

02

Choosing a course that does not fit the work you want

03

Changing courses, providers or cities later

The guide cannot remove every risk. It can help you pause, compare and ask better questions before committing.

Why I made it

I know what it feels like when everyone has an opinion about your future.

I moved from India to Australia as an international student in 2018. I had university marketing, agent advice, family expectations and my own worries in my head at the same time.

After more than 500 student conversations, I still see people making the same decision with too little independent information.

I will not choose for you. I will help you check the choice properly.
