Review of the univeristy and physics department

The university is quite good, although located in a remote region, facilities have developed around it. A great campus with some of the best departments in the country, especially civil engineering and architechture. But my department, physics, is quite lacking in quality with improper course structures offered and also being one of the smallest departments in the university. But the professors are good and with dedication from your side can be of great help.
