In most cases, it is the dilemma to decide which university is the best university. And it makes things worse, when you don't even know the parameters needed to judge the capability of the university. People also tend to succumb to shoddy advertisements. Today, the number universities too have seen a steep increase. You hardly have quality time left to decide because of the last date of receiving these admission forms.
You can go for university reviews, comments and information before you decide. In most of the cases, you can find reviews are done for courses that are on offer by a specific university. Normally, course evaluation questionnaires are distributed among the class members in final days of the students' academic career. So, basically these reviews come from the horse's mouth. The comments and suggestions made by the students are aimed to help students take informed course choices. Also, it helps instructors make necessary amendments to improve pedagogical techniques. The authorities often do this by supplementing the information in course announcement. You will find these announcements contain galore of real life student experiences.
The fun element lies in college internships. Internship helps a student to get on-the-job-training and works normally in a temporary position. So, you should not misunderstand an internship with a full fledged job. The internships are more of an apprenticeship. Students can resort to internship to hone up their skills before they take a full time employment.
The rationale behind universities offering internship is two-fold. Firstly, it gives the student a platform to gain the relative experience in their field. They can also decide if they possess expected degree of interest in the work, get an opportunity to build their own network of contacts and also get the university credit. Secondly, the employers providing internship are believed to get free or cheap labor for their low-level tasks. Internship also raises chances of the intern returning back to the company on completion of their education, requiring no or minimal training.
Such internships may be categorized into paid, unpaid or partially paid which is better known as stipend.
