Good learning environment.

Tips: The programs here are decent and detailed but they lack approach in certain aspects. The faculty is very knowledgeable and has helped in shaping my perspective as well. Downtown is filled with activity and has some nice places to explore although the rent here is higher. Good for independent learners.

Good location and a good place to learn.

Tips: I have had an enjoyable and insightful journey here and I personally found the campus to be quite welcoming and happening as well. Everything here is quite accessible as well be it the metro, shopping avenues and pubs as well because the university is located downtown. A good way to socialize is through the clubs especially for international students.

Peaceful and quiet campus life.

Tips: The business programs here are very practical and conducted by very knowledgeable faculty who have a lot of experience in their fields. Networking opportunities here are limited and I've seen that internship opportunities are more as compared to full time job roles. Campus life is more peaceful and helps me in remaining focused.

My experience in CSU.

Tips: My experience here has taught me a lot about how to navigate in a different country, be independent and resource management as well. CSU is good with their flexibility and that they are project intensive if you are more of a practical learner as compared to theory. It can be better in terms of safety especially after sunset, so you should keep this in mind. Overall, a good place to learn.

Good place for learning.

Tips: My university does pretty well in certain programs such as in CS courses, although I have noticed several discrepancies in the way courses are structured and classes could be organised in a better manner. The environment is nice and relaxed and classroom sizes are also limited, allowing more interaction and verbal understanding. The theoretical aspects of my major could be carried out in a better format. Good place to upskill overall.
