There are a lot of people from all over the world ad that helps you to discover different points of view.
In terms of the facilities, there are some places that have been left apart or closed. Some equipment at Siberrad doesn't work. The University is not giving enough attention to this. read full review
Very friendly People and nice facilities around. Should have shopping centres more near to campus. read full review
The university staff are welcoming and supportive, and the student community is both diverse and intellectually curious. Overall, this is a great institution. Recent challenges have introduced some limitations, but the core experience remains strong. I would love to see more events featuring leading academics, as well as opportunities for more intensive and demanding study. read full review
Best thing is the university is student centered and tried to give best opportunities to them read full review
I love the homey feel of the campus. It could be improved by staggering lunches and having more food options in the SU. We run out of food almost every lunch period so some people don't get the opportunity to eat if they were planning on buying lunch. read full review

Lots of events on campus. read full review
Campus is stunning and generally the staff care a lot about their students. The SU plan a lot of great events and the leadership team are very visible and vocal about current issues facing the institution.

That said, the library resources are lacking for my course, as well as journal subscriptions being decimated as a cost-saving measure means that finding the required texts can be a struggle. read full review
