The ___ as to which university to apply to is often taken on the basis of a university's position on the world rankings table. Yet, other considerations, such as whether the course is ___ or offers hands-on experience and the amount of time that students will need to work ___ should be taken into account. The fact is that some undergraduates who express their ___ with their university experience base their ___ on poor organisation, the lack of support received and on having fewer contact hours than expected. As higher education ___ come under increasing pressure to meet established targets and to maintain or improve their status, course guidelines should ___ what participants can expect from the course and what the course expects from them. This should ___ a reduction in student drop-out rates. Inevitably, though, no matter how much the content and structure is spelt out, some students will turn up with ___ expectations that can never be met.
