How Students Rated This University
- Student Diversity 4.4
- Admission Process 4.0
My Journey Towards a Comprehensive Understanding
I am very satisfied with my university experience. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree that has significantly broadened my knowledge across various fields. Throughout my studies, I have taken a wide range of courses, often in diverse disciplines, which have enriched my understanding and provided me with a comprehensive, 360-degree view of the complex world of design.
I like the small classes
Small university (this can be seen has a plus) and expensive city. Professors are really prepared and available for students' needs. As told before, the university is small and the classes include small groups, this is a big pro because the environment becomes really friendly.
GOOD, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
As far as my experience, I rated my study experience as neutral, beacuse I would have preferred to focus more on languages themselves rather than on the other subjects provided by my study plan.
