First, the advantages of large institutions:
1. Don't worry about its qualification. Generally, large-scale study abroad institutions have complete qualifications and can stand the screening.
2. It has been established for a long time, safe and reliable, and it is not afraid of running away. The fame of large institutions is not achieved overnight, but it is relatively guaranteed to accumulate overnight.
3. There are many cases of internal admission and rich application experience. There will be a complete process system, and the application requirements of various countries and institutions will be more emboldened.
Disadvantages:
1. In the case of many institutional students, streamlining operations generally exist. For example, document templating is very serious, and there will be a situation where the service is not proportional to the scale.
2. Consultant teachers and document teachers are relatively mobile. Some experienced consultant teachers will go out to open their own studios, and some document teachers will also take private jobs, without taking into account all links. Once the replacement is not timely, it will greatly affect the application results.
3. The consultant teacher may not be professional enough. Teachers in many large institutions are more inclined to sell. Some large institutions have only contacted one consultant teacher, so they can't communicate directly with the later teachers. Some can't even see the documents, and the password of the applied email account is not given, so it is impossible to grasp the application progress. Some consultants don't reply in time, so it's easy to miss the offer.
Second, the small studio
Advantages:
1. There are fewer teachers, but they can be small and refined, and the service is basically one-to-one. They spend more time on students, pay attention to service, have more time to help them learn and enrich the application materials and background, and help students brainstorm more attentively in paperwork.
2. Because it is in the development period, it will pay more attention to word of mouth and be more transparent in terms of price. Unlike large organizations with many employees, the price will rise because of layered packaging, and small studios have more bargaining space and higher service communication efficiency. Basically, the teacher can do it in a few seconds.
Disadvantages:
1. Because the popularity is relatively small, there are fewer employees. Once something goes wrong, it is very easy to run away, it is difficult to find someone to hold accountable, and it may not have relevant qualifications.
2. The studio will focus on something, for example, some Britain and Hong Kong do well, some America and Canada do well, and so on. Not as comprehensive as large institutions, so we should pay more attention to applying for colleges and majors to find studios.
3. Many studios seldom spend money on advertising marketing, so their reputation is poor, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little unreliable when communicating.
In fact, in my opinion, the size of an institution should not be the decisive factor in choosing an institution to study abroad, but rather the key factors such as the strength and level of teachers and the quality of documents. If you value the faculty and the grace of individual cases, it is recommended to choose a large institution. If you value a single major and post-service, then it is better to choose a studio.
