A good package of study
BACC struggle
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Well, the journey was not so good as well as not so bad. Can be said average. Most of my classes were combined with local students as I am the only one taking accounting from my batch so there were no international students. So, I had to face problem in grouping etc. As the local prefers their own smell. My first year was okay cause in the first year all my batch mates...
