A truly unforgettable experience at SCUT!
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Well, On-campus learning was truly an experience for me, I enjoyed my lectures, I found my teachers quite interesting and I found my classmates even more interesting .I think the teachers for the most part did the best they could especially with online learning, which was a relatively new experience for everyone .
A journey to success
