Thirsty for experiences

In general it was pretty good
Focus on what matters most!

In general, the school is satisfactory. It provides you with the right knowledge and stimuli so that you can evolve. I just think that (as in most universities) the teaching was very formal and boring, without sparking your imagination. It was more a matter of memory than creative logic. Overall I was happy with the degree as I was given the opportunity to perform Erasmus...
A good university in Greece
