Most universities recruit by country. But students in neighbouring cities can have completely different preferences 📍 In this video, Carlie Sage reveals data showing that students in Mumbai and Hyderabad—two major Indian cities—make very different choices when it comes to studying abroad. Same country, completely different preferences. The twist? Sometimes cities on opposite sides of the world have more in common than neighbouring ones. Your next big recruitment win might be somewhere you’ve never even considered. 👀 Curious to see the data and what it means for your strategy? 🎥 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/emzH4aUW Want more insights like this? 📬 Subscribe to our LinkedIn newsletter for monthly trends and data-driven recruitment strategies: https://lnkd.in/eTUT32pg #HigherEd #UniversityTrends #Analytics&Consulting #Studyportals #StudentDemand #ActingOnInsights
