My Experience in UTM
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Overall, it is a mixed one. Sometimes the sky shine brights and sometimes it is cloudy. The lecturers are great, although sometimes can be quite a nuance, but you can safely say they are all experienced and knowledgeable people. Some facilities are new, with great tech to work with but some can be traced back to cold war era.
