University Evaluation Checklist
Use a structured university evaluation checklist: recognition, curriculum, faculty, internships, cost, scholarships and student support. Not a ranking.
How should students compare universities?
Use the same factors for every institution: recognition, teaching, support, location and total cost. Write notes, not vibes. This checklist stays in your browser. It is not a ranking and not an endorsement of any university.
How to use the checklist
Name two institutions that actually offer the course you want. Add evidence you can verify: a prospectus page, a conversation, a visit. Leave a cell blank rather than guessing. Rankings can sit in one cell; they should not fill the whole table.

Questions people ask
No. The notes are yours. A university can score well on brand and poorly on teaching time or cost. Fit is the point.
