Make an informed decision about your future with WiSH university reviews and rankings
Choosing where to study is one of the most consequential decisions a young person makes. It shapes the subject they specialise in, the country they live in, the professional network they build and, in most cases, the career and the salary that follow. The difficulty is scale. There are thousands of universities, colleges and business schools around the world, and most of the information published about them is written by the institutions themselves.
WiSH was founded to provide the other side of that picture. The platform publishes verified university reviews, student reviews and student testimonials written by the people who actually enrolled: current students, graduates and alumni. Universities and business schools can claim their profile and correct factual information, but they cannot edit or remove a review written about them. WiSH currently holds student reviews for 0 universities, colleges and business schools across 0 countries, and both figures grow each month.
Read verified student reviews about the best universities and business schools
WiSH encourages students, graduates and alumni from institutions all over the world to write about their experiences, so that the people following behind them can make a well informed decision about their own future. Reviews cover what applicants most want to know and rarely find answered honestly: teaching quality, class sizes, accommodation and living costs, campus facilities, international student support, safety and student life.
Student reviews can be filtered by discipline, so that applicants read experiences specific to the subject they intend to study. Coverage includes business and management, international business, finance, marketing, engineering, computer science, nursing, medicine, law, education, the social sciences and the arts. Reviews can also be filtered by course level, so that undergraduate student reviews sit alongside masters and MBA student reviews for the same university, and by home country, so that applicants can read students who arrived with comparable visa, language and cost considerations.
Find the best universities for international students across the world
For international students the decision usually begins with a country rather than a course. The destination determines tuition and living costs, visa and post study work rights, language of instruction, climate and the graduate market a student eventually enters. WiSH therefore organises student reviews by destination as well as by institution, so that applicants can compare universities across countries before narrowing the search to individual institutions.
The most researched destinations on WiSH include Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. Applicants still deciding where to study abroad will find guidance on the WiSH blog, where international students and graduates write about how to choose where to study abroad and which destinations suit which priorities.
Every review on WiSH comes from a real, named person who studies or has studied at the institution concerned, and every submission is moderated before publication.
Compare university rankings with verified student reviews from around the world
University rankings and business school rankings measure research output, staff to student ratios, funding and reputation. They are a legitimate part of the research process and WiSH does not seek to replace them. What rankings cannot measure is fit: whether the teaching, the city, the cost of living and the student community suit a particular applicant. WiSH is built to sit alongside university and business school rankings. Read the rankings for institutional performance, then read verified student reviews and student testimonials for the experience behind the numbers, and decide with both in front of you.
Why I study here: the question behind every university review
WiSH takes its name from the question every applicant is really asking. Not whether a university is good in the abstract, but why the students there chose it, and whether they would choose it again. That is the question every student review on the platform answers. Why study in the UK rather than Australia. Why study in Canada, Ireland or New Zealand. Why study an MBA, and whether the outcome justified the cost.
