Should you trust other student reviews when you plan to study abroad?

Nowadays more and more students are planning to go abroad to complete their higher education. The internet has put the means to know more about how to study abroad, how to apply to colleges and how to choose the best university at everyone’s finger tips

If you are a student who aspired to STUDY ABROAD twenty years back, your only chance to know more about your prospects was to ask your relative in USA to find out the details and tell you about it. But now, all you have to do is sit at a computer and you will have information not just about the university application process, but a range of comments and reviews from students and their parents from all over the world telling you about their experiences through the application process

In fact, student reviews are one of the major channels of advertisement, both for and against universities. Not just universities, even Overseas Education Consultancies get a lot of reviews from students who utilize their services. For Global Tree, student reviews are one of the major ways in which consultants learn about direct feedback from the clients.

Should you trust student reviews? The short answer is yes, most of the time, the reviewer is giving an honest opinion about the service he has received. But the long answer can be more complicated than that. There are times when the education consultant has tried his best to make sure that a student qualifies, but the student has not met the required criteria for either a standardized test or has not been granted a student visa. In that case, the student may in his disappointment choose to blame the consultant and post a negative review for no fault of his. At consultancies like GLOBAL TREE, STUDENT REVIEWS are taken very seriously, but a year of experience has trained consultants to differentiate between genuine reviews and fake ones.

If you are a student reading a review, ask yourself, has the reviewer a positive or negative impression of the consultancy? Has he provided any specific details of why he feels that way? If not, then its best to not place your decision on that review.
