Study Reviews

Education Ranking cum Reviews of Professors, Colleges, Institutes and Universities

One thing is very certain about these study reviews, i.e. the usefulness being delivered, yes by posting the study reviews in these websites, could act as a guideline for millions of people/professionals/students all over the world.

If you search for study reviews in the internet, you will be rather surprised to see more than 240, 000, 000 results for your search, yes plenty of websites are providing study reviews, especially abroad study reviews. In case, if I have to know about the University of Wisconsin in Scotland, first I would log-in to the official site of the university to check for the alumni feedbacks, placement records, etc… but after a point, it becomes difficult to find in all the necessary information, especially the advantages and disadvantages, personal experience… couldn’t be found in any university’s official sites. In those situations, these study reviews websites could render in a steady hand for support. But both advantages and disadvantages are possible out of these sites:

Advantages

• One will get to know about the others’ personal experiences about the place, say cultural exposure, are the local people cool over there, food, ambience, etc… these study reviews websites act as a good source of such personal information.
• You could see the ratings for every aspect of the study experience of a particular university, specific country, like party atmosphere, exposure, academic excellence, living situations, course structure, overall rankings, etc… such details can bring in a clear picture about the specific university, right in front of your eyes.
• The soothing factor about these study review sites is that you will go through the user experiences from all over the world, rather than the description of do’s and don’ts, suggestions provided by the website. The feel of travel to the place and living experience over there could be retrieved through these sites and of course that is the unique advantage of these sites.

Disadvantages

• The websites portray to be providing in the unbiased feedbacks and reviews, but it might be biased though, it can happen sometimes. In that case, it may end up in propagating wrong ideas about a university and the place. Because, people can get stereotyped more easily, which may affect their mindsets.
• The probability of personal influences on the reviews is quite higher, thus could not be considered entirely into planning phase.
• Scams could also be possible in such sites, then authenticity of these sites would be possibly the another significant threat.

Apart from all these differences, both positive and negative, the fact that these sites could be used to get in some clear idea in the initial phase of your planning, is vital and of course beneficial though. Some of the sites are in fact providing in good reviews and comments which could be used as strong reference for information about a specific university/school. Deep research activity across different genres, besides these review sites could prove useful to the information seekers!
