Studying in TAU
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Overall it was really good. I loved the material and the professors, and felt that I manage to extend my horizons even beyond my areas of studying.
Industrial Design at HIT
Max Ginsburg rated 3 out of 5 stars
I feel that students with more money had less difficult life as they could buy the materials required to create projects of higher quality due to the accessibility of expensive production processes like CNC and 3d printing
