See the Big Picture:
Talking about focusing on the big picture means, while selecting any university focus on overall reputation of university, its achievements in whole not just about the particular faculty or subject. The life you experience within your university while doing your degree, has great impact on your life on work-field.
So it’s healthier to find out everything about university, their active student clubs and societies, about the international student programs, placements and internships, do they have facilities of libraries and sports etc. Second most important thing to know is about the course, you should do detail homework on what university is offering, about the faculty, fee structure and course outline.
