Academic
Course recommendations
It was easy to interact with lecturers whenever I didn't understand things in class and they were always ready to help.The course was more practical oriented which satisfied my expectation though I would wish if they added more courses like Networking course in English.

In the first month i was shocked with how much money i used but later I had to cut down my expenses in food by not to buying fast foods so often or eating outside,reduce clothes shopping as I used to in Tanzania.Always you need to know how much money you use in a month so as you don't get financial suprises time after time.I learnt how to budget my money and save when I came in here.Its a big improvements
