Friendly college with sports facilities.
Tips: This college has good academic facilities with labs etc. It is good for students in all courses. The faculty is very friendly plus there are high chances of getting GTA. There are other aspects too like sports. Academically, this is a good college.
Likes (Public transportation): Well, the university is equipped with bus services that work great for transportation. Believe me, I didn't feel a need to even get a car apart from getting groceries and going out. It is very well connected by bus service which is also free for students.
Dislikes (Value for money): I believe it is the best investment . I got GTA ( Graduate Teaching Assistant Scholarship) too easily in my course. So overall I spent less money on my graduate studies. For this reason, it has been a value for money university. All my tuition fees were covered and I had to spend very less money on my studies.
