About us

Independent advice, built by someone who's done it

Why this tool exists, and why we're not the ones to trust blindly either — always check our numbers.

Our mission

We are an organisation committed to providing independent advice to students trying to work out where to study abroad. That's it — no hidden agenda, no preferred partner university, no ranking anyone paid to appear higher in.

Who's behind it

The founder has decades of experience interacting with students studying abroad, and personally went through the study-abroad journey as a student in the USA. That first-hand experience — the parts that went well and the parts nobody warned us about — shaped the seven factors this tool asks you to weigh.

How we stay independent

Our advice is not affected by commissions from universities or student-loan-related financial institutions. We don't accept payment from universities, education agents, or lenders in exchange for placement, favourable treatment, or inclusion in our country guides or comparison tool. Any advertising on this site is served independently and does not influence which countries, universities, or programs we discuss or how we score them.

A note on the data: every figure in our comparison tool and country guides — cost, tuition, visa lengths, unemployment rates — is an illustrative starting point meant to be edited with your own research. We link to official and independent sources where we can, but rules and numbers change, and your nationality and specific program can change your outcome. Treat this as a framework for thinking clearly, not a verdict.
