A typical university experience

University of Baghdad is one of the best universities in Iraq. It is definitly the biggest university in Iraq. My experience was typical. I didn't have a great time in the first and second year because of COVID-19 and the online education. My department was a new department so there was a very noticable needs for improvements.
