If you're pursuing a postsecondary education in science, you have a lot to think about. For instance, you need to think about the area(s) of science interest you (e.g. chemistry, biology, physics, math, etc.) and, of course, where you want to go. One factor affecting this latter decision is the type of institution offering the program, since this can affect things like facilities, research grants, size, faculty and more.
