Studying in a small and unite university

The university is not big, that is a big advantage of it, since all professors know and remember you. So the atmosphere is good and warm. On the other hand, the current situation in the university is not very pleasant because the Administration is trying to reduce costs by making groups bigger. That is to my mind not a wisdom step. But in general summarizing my study experience, I can say that despite problems with administrative part, it is a good experience. Most professors are real experts that can help you anytime if you have some problems/ And the level of knowledge they give is perfect

Pros and cons of RFTA

Although I gained valuable knowledge in RFTA, I can also say that only half of the professors were experienced enough to deliver knowledge on their subjects. The majority of them have more theoretical rather than practical knowledge. Besides, I experienced zero empathy from the faculty workers and especially the dean's department. The careers center has also been useless for job searching.
