During my master's studies at Southeast University, I fully appreciated the charm of the expansive campus. It provides a great platform for you to fully realize your potential, while the large lawns offer a place to relax anytime. Most of the professors were very friendly.
Affordable best university
Southeast University is one of the best university in Dhaka city for middle class students. There are many universities like BRAC, NSU, EWU but those are costly. Southeast university is trying to give best experience in affordable way. But the sad part is they are increasing their tuition fees day by day. Faculties are friendly and they try to teach students in different way. There are labs and a large libraries, a multipurpose hall. The part I didn't like about it is crowdy, doesn't have much extra curriculum activities.
