When u saw the worse u will adore to the normal
Actually I was studying at Yildiz technical university before Vilnius tech and the curriculum in Yildiz is one of the worse ones I have ever seen (my mom is uni teacher in Azerbaijan and I also studied in Asiou - Azerbaijan science industy and oil university - and in both of them every lecturer is trying to make everything harder for students therefore if you want to have good academic life that life will be only life u wont have a social life. In addition to that in azerbaijani universities everything is working with corruption u have to give money to teachers for passing exams. In the other hand, in vgtu curriculum is teaching what exactly u need no more. And international opportunities is also satisfying.
Great Learning Experience
