It was an amazing University, the lecturers did a wonderful job in ensuring students are well versed in the course they are taking. This therefore ensured all students graduating were well learned and very good at that specific course they pursued.
My experienced was really good. I'm fully satisfied there course curriculum.
My experience at this university had its ups and downs. On one hand, I found the campus facilities to be modern and well-maintained, and the library resources were extensive. However, I found some of the professors to be disorganized and unresponsive to student needs, which made it difficult to succeed in their courses. Additionally, the campus was located in an area with limited public transportation, which made it challenging for me to attend events or meetings outside of class.
