good teaching, high-quality courses. Lots of online courses, easy to mix work-family-education -life for adult learners.
My experience at Metropolia university has been overall lovely. Altough covid-19 has made the studies different and a bit more lonely, i have good experiences with my teachers and classmates. Finding an internship has been a challange since there are limited open chances in capital area.
As software engineering student the university give a good and high quality courses but for me the school was easy and I am planning to finish the degree in half of duration or less
