I considered colleges in the US, UK, and Canada with the dream of attending Oxford. My final college decision surprised even me.
Briefly

Finding the school that made the most sense financially was important. For example, while small liberal arts colleges can be costly, they have an excellent return on investment for economics majors, which I was most interested in.
I then needed to identify what I wanted in a university and determine how to compare information effectively across countries. I outlined two main factors I was looking for in a university: good value and a learning environment that suited my needs.
By being in a smaller environment, I have had easy access to great professors, and the school funds academic research for undergraduate students in a way that most larger schools do not.
While Mount Allison is far less globally recognized due to its size - especially compared to Oxford - it represented the right choice for me.
