My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
If you are studying science then you should not go to this university. I think it is better for Music and the Arts. The science professors did not seem very knowledgable and the classes were poorly organized.

It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course

Personal comments:
The lab classes should be prganized better. The international office at the university also needs improvement. They should be there to help the international students but most of the time dont have a clue about whats going on.
