My experience in the University is smooth but had its side effects.I struggle with course materials and transportation
I found the faculty extremely dedicated to the student. Both the office and the professors are always ready to resolve doubts of the students. I find that the university has an international stamp, by offering the possibility to follow courses in English and offering language courses to the students.
