I summarize my overall study very well and I really enjoyed my university life . I have done many experience in my university. Like international conference on international climatic change .I have done my research in my university on groundnut .
I had the pleasure to study in Bacha Khan University Charsadda but there was no option given of that University here so i selected the nearest one to me Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan. My experience was great i went from being an immature student to become someone who thinks of himself as a little mature now, the only problem i had there was the administration, apary from that everything is good and people and teachers there are nice.
No words for explanation because I didn't complete my bs physics I just have taken associate degree.
