The tools to choose
Start with yourself
Consider your aspirations and desires: motivation and vocation are essential to become good at what you do and this, combined with a solid preparation, will make you a credible and reliable professional.
Start with yourself, and don't leave the choice to the advice of others or to the fashion of the moment
Gather the information you need and learn how to sort it with as much time as you need.
Focus on your desires and their achievability without giving too much weight to secondary elements, such as proximity to the location or finding a secure job.

Consider University as an opportunity
Choosing a university course means acquiring theoretical and practical skills in different disciplinary fields, developing analytical and in-depth skills and learning to "learn", i.e. to manage information
University is different from school because YOU have chosen it and you can study whatever you prefer, the lessons are interactive and you will be asked to be more involved in the classroom and in individual study, you will have to manage your time better by alternating MONTHS of attendance with lessons and MONTHS of exams
Not just lessons. Choosing a university does not only mean attending lectures and taking exams but also language services, company internships and meetings with the world of professions, study and work abroad
