uni hunt!!! helpp!!
So I’m currently in the whole university hunt phase and honestly, it’s stressing me out.
From the start, my first choice was GC University Lahore. I had this whole vision in my head that I’d do psychology there, enjoy the campus, the vibe, everything.
My other options were KC (I did my intermediate from Kinnaird, so I wanted a change) and PU, but I haven’t given the PU test yet and people keep saying it’s tough and competitive, especially for psychology.
Anyway, long story short, my GC application had an error, so I had to go to the campus to get it fixed in person.
I’m not kidding, the moment I stepped into the university, it completely killed my expectations. It was nothing like the image I had in my head.
The area I saw was dirty, trashy, and honestly kind of disgusting. I don’t know if I ended up in some older part of the campus and there are better-maintained areas that I didn’t see, but my first impression was really bad and it genuinely made me sad because I was almost sure I’d study there.
After that, I talked to a retired relative who has spent his whole life in the education sector. He told me that before taking admission in GC, I should definitely check the psychology department because, according to him, it’s very small and not as strong as some other places. Hearing that just shattered my remaining excitement.
Now I’m confused
-Is GC actually worth it for psychology?
-Is the department really that small or weak, or is that just an outdated opinion?
-Should I be considering PU more seriously for psychology?
-Or should I just stick with KC since I already know the environment there, even though I wanted a change?
If you’re:
-currently at GC (especially in psychology),
-a PU psychology/applied psychology student,
-or from KC’s psychology department,
please share your honest experience:
How’s the psychology department, teaching quality, environment, campus vibe, and overall satisfaction? Would you recommend it to someone who genuinely wants to study psychology seriously and have a good uni experience.
