Spring is all about brightness and festivity. It is the time when admission officers across the country are going through your applications and making sure everything is set in time to mail their notifications. For students it is the time to wait anxiously by the mailbox or busily refresh their email inboxes anticipating their decisions admit, wait list, or deny.
The general universities of Pakistan have launched their Admissions Spring Campaign and students admitted to this campaign have lot of questions about what it means. Some of these questions with answers are as follows:

In addition, you will hear from faculty, staff and student mentors throughout the fall/spring session to help you learn more about a particular university and the social choices you will have.

Q2: Will I make friends?

It is also interesting to note that in the first year, the cost of attendance for students who start in spring is generally lower than for those who begin in the fall. This is due to the fact that student housing and dining costs in the required summer term are less than what they typically are during a full semester.

Whether you start this fall or spring, we encourage you to work hard and sharpen your skills and gain real-world exposure to different industries before beginning your undergraduate studies.
