Student Reviews
Good review from graduate
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
University is more research based than prcatical. In my opinion, engineering should have more practice. In addition, the courses taught were not one directional, as there were more options to take. However, the overall study was exellent.
NU gives you really good education
