Living in SZIU

A lot of teacher has left the University in the last 1 year. The online learning platform is lacking, most of the times unreachable. There is no Wi-fi connection, and also no place to sit, when we have a gap lesson. The one thing that’s really great is the society. I like the people who I am learning with.
