[Positive points:] As a research faculty most of the subjects were connected to cultural sociology, a great aspect for students who would like to work on cultural and diversity issues. [Improvement points:] University facilities and subject programming could be improved.

The program in general was really interesting. Although there is one professor that can make your study experience a true disaster.
