Student Reviews
A personal environment for studying
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The students know the Professors and the otherway around, it's kind of personal. Also the students of the same study programme and same year know each other and sometimes hang out. You don't have to care about choosing subjects, because it's already choosen for you. There are pros and cons about it. I like it!
If you love mountains and snow go for it
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
It is quite practical, lots of things to do. So you have the opportunity to learn a lot. But often times you are left on your own doing so. The level English of some lectures could be massively improved. The overall experience is a little bit difficult to judge, as Corona and lockdowns made things a lot more difficult and in many aspects worse. But compared to other...
One-sided requirements
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
it takes forever to receive grades (more than 3 months!), meaning you never know if you passed or need to take a retake exam. On the other hand, MCI insists that students are 110% punctual.
