University needs diversity
University of Chittagong is quite a good listed University.. Ranked four /three in Bangladesh. But there is problem which I suffered most, is the diversity. Most of the students study here belong from its own locality ( Chittagong) , so when I came into this University I did:t get the expected environment as I imagined. I hampered my academic result also
