My experience during COVID-19
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
It is a nice university and teachers are helpful. However, my personal experience was not very good because I had to find two companies to do an internship at, and during COVID-19 this was almost impossible. More assistance from the university would have been nice.
