Before Choosing Your University or Major — Read This First

Most students decide based on brochures, rankings, or outdated advice online. Later, they realize the reality is very different.

⚠️ Important

A lot of advice on forums, TikTok, YouTube, and social media is outdated, oversimplified, or based on a completely different university experience. Relying on it can be misleading when making such an important decision.

Choosing the wrong major can lead to switching degrees later — which in the UAE can cost over AED 300,000+ in tuition, time, and lost opportunity.

Don’t guess your future. Talk to someone currently studying the program.
