1. The Proposed Curriculum: When the Unicorn of the Master in Public Law Meets Big Data
Did you dream of a master’s in public law, but they offered you a ride in a bachelor’s degree in public administration? You received an invitation to dive into artificial intelligence, and another to plunge into Big Data? Deciding isn’t easy, but listen to your heart (and a bit to your mum too). If you’re still struggling, ask yourself which degree will be most useful when you’re celebrating your success with a plate of ndolé!
2. Tuition Fees - Because even if you’ve got the swag, money doesn’t grow on trees.
If you’re not Bill Gates’ secret child, then tuition fees are crucial. Some institutions charge more than the guy selling a kilo of halal meat at Château Rouge. If you choose a public university, check if it applies differentiated fees. The real question here is how you’re going to finance your studies without becoming the king of financial shenanigans. We’ve talked about it in other articles, but it always deserves a reminder.
3. Reputation - Because you don’t want to be the only one who knows your school.
Choose a school more well-known than the guy selling doughnuts next to the main street. Look at the rankings, ask Google, and above all, ask former students. If the school has more stories than the old man on the corner telling tales by the fire, then it might be a good sign.

A city can be the ideal dance partner or a tough opponent. Does it offer you a playground for your passions, internship opportunities, and a dynamic student network? Or does it feel more like an endless boring waltz? Before saying « yes » to a city, make sure it will be the perfect dance partner for your student stay.
