Difficulties faced as an international student
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The University is fine itself in terms of teaching, which shows why it's ranked so highly in the world, but I haven't fully been able to settle down because I didn't receive my CAS in time so I had many problems with my visa. This lead onto other things like bank problems, and disbursement issues <br><i> Review provided by EDUopinions (www.eduopinions.com)</i>
