Better education system
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I am from Ethiopia and I find everything different here. The way education is provided is so much better and I feel like I have gained more knowledge in my field in the last year than I ever did in my life. Most lecturers go above and beyond to help students and I really appreciate that.
