Getting an admit feels exciting, but the harder question is usually:

“Is this university actually worth the cost?”

A lot of students compare universities only by ranking or brand name, but the real decision often depends on things like:

• Total tuition
• Scholarships or grants
• Living costs
• Expected out-of-pocket cost
• Job opportunities after graduation
• Location
• Program quality
• Visa/work options
• Personal financial situation

At Dakhila AI, we’re thinking deeply about how students should compare admits and offer letters in a clearer, more practical way.

So we’d love to hear from this community:

When choosing between universities, what matters most to you?

1. Ranking/reputation
2. Total cost
3. Scholarship amount
4. Job outcomes
5. Location
6. Course curriculum
7. Alumni network
8. Visa/work opportunities
9. Something else

Also, if you’ve already chosen between multiple admits, what helped you make the final decision?

Let’s build a useful thread for students who are currently comparing options. 🚀
