我从南京众多留学中介机构里，选了优越留学这家，说下我选择的方法吧，算起来我可是做了一个星期的功课呢！
（1）考察资质和背景
（2）考察团队
（3）考察服务内容
（4）考察后续服务
……………………
先了解清楚留学机构属于咨询行业，就如同法律行业（都是受管法律监督的，有地方能查的），我认为好的老师基本是要依靠经验的积累。而且啊每个留学机构都有很多成功案例的，这个就是显摆机构的能力以及专业素养的，所以要学会去辨识案例库。
因为所谓的成功案例，抛开一些杜撰和编造的之外，少数非常拔尖的申请结果主要是因为学生本人的情况足够好（是我仰望的学霸了）。因此，不要太过于迷信留学中介机构宣传的成功案例，得有选择地去看。
因为留学申请对我来说的重要性，尤其是我的英国留学申请，所以，挑选咨询顾问的时候，记得考察他是否具备丰富的经验和较好的沟通能力。从我的咨询情况来看，不少留学机构采用了以团队形式弥补个人背景不足的管理方式，其实也是不错的。
以及有个很残酷的现实
1）就是越大型的公司， 他的留学顾问流动性越大（这也是我不盲目追求牌子名气的原因）。好多小的新成立的「留学咨询公司」，打的旗号还是前XX家顾问申的，就很emmm……
2）有的资深顾问不通过预约或者朋友推荐预约，可能真的轮不上面询资深顾问（因为很多厉害的靠谱的老师对自己手上的学生数量是会有限制的，这也是负责的表现）。
总之，一个好的顾问能够非常精准的根据我的个人情况，为我分析介绍适合的留学国家及院校，并制定专属的最优申请方案，反之就只是单纯的院校名字推荐了。
至于为什么强调后续服务，这是很现实的问题，如果一个机构很重视后续，那么就代表他不是想赚你快钱，而是真的想做长远服务，把你送出去的。
后续服务也是一个专业的留学机构应该提供的服务，需要能够延续到国外。如出国后的接机、住宿、续签，乃至将来申请办理绿卡等延伸事务。具备这些完善的后续服务，更显现出中介机构的态度和靠谱。
个人认为选择留学中介机构要慎重，面对繁杂的申请流程、签证手续和后续服务，选择一家后续服务较完善的留学机构是比较重要的。

谢邀。
签了题主说到的优越，我签的是南京优越留学，去年四月份的时候开始看中介，也是先通过知乎、微博等平台来寻找已经留学的人的经验，然后通过自己上门作对比，来选出我觉得好的留学机构，来申请英硕。
估计大家开始都会加很多顾问的WeChat，我喜欢先电话联系，聊完觉得还行，没什么雷点的（比如说话吞吞吐吐、态度一般什么的），才会加vx进行下面或深或浅的交流，相比之下，上门当面咨询才是我的主场。
我特别在意顾问的态度，以及是否尊重我的想法和意愿。
如果遇到——
“现在应该定中介了”
“你不申请这几个可能就出不了国了”
“我专业还是你专业，想留学就听我的”
…………
诸如此类的话，我直接不考虑，相信我，这种机构不签也罢。
在态度上面优越的老师让我觉得很舒服，交流起来也无障碍，大概就是你问的问题乱七八糟，但对方却能一针见血指出问题，并且直接理解你到底想问的是什么。
当然，在态度的基础上，还是要看机构的实力的。
首先我是喜欢他们的文书，质量很高，不会存在chinglish，用词什么的都很地道，应该是他们说的外籍文案导师修改润色了，然后是文书的初稿完成好后直接发给我审核，不满意还可以修改，当然啦，我虽然觉得写的不错，但还是主动和文案老师再针对文书聊了下，才确定不用再修改的，谨慎如我。
对了，你们要判断中介靠谱与否，可以看看他们的文书给不给看，给不给改，不给看不给改的就emmm……
总之，申请英国留学，我会推荐这家，加油冲！

评选原则：
美国留学中介质量排名：这些最近更新的美国留学中介排名的重点在三个因素，一个良好的知名度的评分、一个被认可的咨询顾问的专业度的评分、委托办理美国留学的学生对录取满意度的评分。这与家长与学生的立场一致。
优越留学是主打英国的，选择中介应该选择精和专而不是考虑机构规模大吧？
其次费用这块，优越留学会便宜一些，结合申请来说性价比也是高一些的。
然后现在网络这么发达，线上沟通很方面，不需要面谈也是ok的，只要这家中介正规靠谱就行了。
具体的顾问专业度还有文书质量如何是否需要多找两家做对比还是需要自己去好好考量的。
