The right place has more than your program. Your career preparation, sense of community, and your mental and physical wellbeing are just as important as your academics.
How do you find the right place for you?
It starts with introspection.
We like to use the acronym PLACE to help you reflect on your strengths, goals and sources of joy.

Ask yourself:
- What am I passionate about?
- Who am I outside the classroom?
- What activities give me purpose and motivate me to excel?

Ask yourself:
- What is important to you in a city?
- Do you want to be close to home or further away?
- What is important to you in a campus? Would you like it to be big or small?
