University options.

If I am planning on going to university I'm going to have to research all parts of different University's that I can consider going to so I can make sure I understand types of courses there are, what options I have and what decisions I have to make to make studying easiest for me.

Things to consider.

University is the next step I could take in education so being presented with the details of the course is great but knowing to work my way around the cost of it is essential to the next step in finding the most flexible University for me to attend so I'm going to have to consider Location, Course type, Student loans, Flexible Jobs, Accommodation/Housing and Application deadline, Entry requirements, How to apply.
