I have offers from the above colleges,but I really confused. Being an international applicant, what will be the best college in terms of job opportunities and reputation. Owen has a 2 year course so fees is high. Should I go for Owen or choose from the other 3. UCD is also a top choice for me. Do help

Hi komalnayak
Think of a situation where you have so many reputed medicine brands:
Johnson & Johnson.
Pfizer.
Roche.
AbbVie.
Novartis.
Merck.
Bristol Myers Squibb.
GlaxoSmithKline.


My question is should you take a medicine because it is a better brand, or the medicine that suits your needs?
The brand-name is obviously one important part, but please research the employment reports of these schools, connect with students & alums of these schools, ask them and analyse which school will help you the most overall, and go for that.

Will this take time? Hell yes...
But whatever decision you make, you will live the effects of, for your entire life..

Hope that helps
Bala

I welcome you to consider these thoughts:
1. If you study in Country X, you will struggle to find a job in Country Y.
2. As an international applicant, where would you find it (relatively) easy to secure a work permit / rights to remain in the country you study
3. As already called out, your school applications must have been based on what you wish to do post-education.

Well done, BTW for multiple admits.
Best wishes,
Dee

Vanderbilt has a very good alumni , UCD seems to be a very good option too. But with Southampton and Bath, I am confused. I have to confirm atleast I college in a few days.I may also get a convert from Rice. But overall I am still confused.
