    The 31 Steps To Choosing A University

    Having a hard time deciding what to do in September? Don't worry, we've been there!

    1. Someone asks you if you have started thinking about university, and you are like "university?"

    2. Then you learn there are 20 universities to choose from just in Ontario and you are like...

    3. So you get your act together and you spend countless hours browsing programs, majors, and minors (even though you aren't quite sure what these are).

    4. And when that is still not enough info for you, you start hitting up university fairs

    5. ...And you pick up more university brochures than one person could possibly carry.

    6. The application deadline starts to approach and you start to feel a little something like this...

    7. And there is that guy who has decided to do a 5th year, and is just coasting stress-free because he knows he has a whole year to decide...

    8. The application deadline comes and you apply to as many programs as you can afford...

    9. ...And for about three minutes you are relieved, but then you realize...

    10. ...You still have to actually choose one of those 13 programs.

    11. So you grab your mom, dad, and friend for an epic university campus road trip...

    12. ...Where you meet some enthusiastic student ambassadors...

    13. ...And you are ENTIRELY overwhelmed by all the awesome each campus has to offer.

    14. Literally everything looks so impressive on your first tour or two...

    15. ...But then you realize...

    16. They all have big cool lecture halls.

    17. They all have cafeterias filled with everything you could ever imagine.

    18. And they ALL have cool residences (which all have a cool rec room).

    19. And a small part of you starts to hope that only one of them will accept you, and your decision will be made...

    20. And that 5th year guy is still like...

    21. But, next thing you know, your mailbox is full of shiny acceptance packages.

    22. And your best friends want you to follow them to their school of choice...

    23. So you find yourself venting your pre-university woes to your friendly guidance counselor...

    24. ... and he encourages you to make a list of what is most important to you. So you look back and wonder...

    25. Where can I find friendly professors?

    26. And great research opportunities?

    27. And TONS of hands-on learning?

    28. And a tight-knit community of students?

    29. And somewhere that feels like home?

    30. And then all at once, you've made your decision!
