University of quality education with best ethics.
Tips: You should have confidence in your choice of course. You should figure out a way to do some part time work so that you’ll be able to fulfill your needs. You should also check out things about the environment near the college/ university like discrimination etc. Also, research the programme you want to enroll in.
Likes (Internships): Discrimination free environment with helpful folks. Student life of university was very good as everything what student needs during their time at the university like problem solving environment, sports activities both indoor & outdoor games, library, cafeteria & other activities are provided.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I experienced best in quality of faculty. Faculty of the university, focus on practical things more than the theory works. The best part of faculty is that they are very helpful in nature and they suggest and guide very clearly that help students.
