How Students Rated This University

  • Overall Satisfaction 4.0
4/5

A good program to learn a little bit of everything

Overall I really like my university. It has a good building, the tech we use is relatively new and overall the structure is pretty. I also like the curriculum because there is a variety of subjects you can choose from, ranging from software, to hardware and to networks. So if someone is interested in everything they can take up many classes. What I don't like is that some of the teachers are very unorganized and create a bad image of the department. For example, some of them will delay putting out grades by a lot which can cause several issues. Other than that, there are many teachers who like their job and very willing to help you with your questions.

Could be better could be worse

Overall my university I believe it is average. Mostly because of the campus and the classes. The professors are mostly okay and in the important classes are great. My main problem is the lack of equipment and the poor management
