  • The university has great life with abundance of socities and clubs and nightlife with nice sober people around and a good wether to live in. But apart from all the location is at crime prone area and quality of teaching staff depends on your degree. Excess of socities and nightlife and a poorly structured campus is what repels students to avoid the university.
