Overview

The university had an Institute of biomedical engineering. The institute specialized in prosthesis research, which was what I sought to get into. I also sought to work with the professors associated with the institute to supervise my research.

Fees

Fees structure is by term. For graduate students, this is reasonable and drops after three years. Other charges include the student union, health, and dental, technology fee, facilities fee.

Overview

It's the best one in the city and affordable. I didn't want to have to move out of my home town because I don't have the money for that. I also had several friends who attended and graduated and I went to them for their opinions before applying. They all talked of the teachers they enjoyed and told me the pros and cons, helping me decide.

Fees

The structure for fees was straightforward. They are very well defined in the paperwork you get while you're applying, and are told of the charges on D2L or twitter if you follow the school. Plus the student loan people themselves will send emails about any fees.
