During my bachelors studies in Leskovac I had a perfect experience. However, faculty of philosophy in Nis would be a mediocre experience, purely because most of the professors were not interested in cooperating with the students.
Professors in Nis offer a lot of theoretical knowledge, studing is cheap but there are not enough opportunities for practical learning.
