Peter Davos, Founder and Managing Director, Hale Education Group explains the conundrum that families face when it is decision time to choose the right university for higher education of their children.

"Choosing a university is an incredibly important decision, as you will become a permanent member of a global community that will have a tremendous impact on your personal, professional and academic life. You may be a student for only four years, but you will be an alumnus forever.“

"Unfortunately, most families place excessive emphasis on supposedly "subjective“ university rankings that attempt to quantify the unquantifiable, at the expense of qualitative research and understanding of the concept of "fit“ that are critical not only to a student's academic enrichment, but quality of life and well-being.“

Peter separates the chaff from the wheat and emphasises on what is truly important in this life-altering decision.
