Great experience
It was a good experience overall. I met a lot of different people and our professors were really competent.
2/5
Do not care about students
Teachers often do not try to make it easier for students. They would do the minimum and ask the most. Very harsh mentality and all teachers expect you to know things from other classes when you never studied them.. no organisation.
