Student Reviews

Great experience but not a five star
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

It was a good experience, the professors were amazing and personable. The only thing is that the advisors did not offer much assistants nor did the university offer much help when it came to finding a job afterwards or resources.

Here! Your words matter, Here! Your Efforts Count.
Anonymous rated 1 out of 5 stars

University is quite good all the physical Infrastructures and all. The teachers and tutors are super cute and really enjoy interacting and helping students in the academics and in the time of Crisis.

Environmental Philosophy doesn't work at a distance
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

What worked was the ability to get help and to speak freely with the professors sharing ideas and hard to understand concepts. What didnt work was distance learning
