Getting a perfect balance when it comes to college opportunities is hard. "I Want a great Academic institution with a fantastic sports program, that is within my budget within the area I want to go".

In this episode we explain this in more detail. 

In this weeks episode we talk about College preferences and compare Australian and New Zealand Uni preferences and how they differ from American University preferences.
