My wonderful experience in China
I enjoyed and I'm still enjoying my experience at the university. The staff is so professional and they are always there to help if you are need of something.
If I had known any better
At first It felt like I was in a really good institution, until thinhs dawned very quickly and noticed I was Not in a vasity that wanted to nuture and allow me horne my skills, but They were just after my money and couldnt care less abour their foreign students especially those from Africa
The honest truth
My current university is really good, I said im currently studying software engineering here its a good school with good teachers, and a great learning enviroment. The main reason i want to leave is because i realized that the majori took isnt what i really wanted. I choose to study software enginnering here beacuse it was cheaper for my family, the course i wanted to study for my bacherlors is game development but those are expensive everywhere in the world, but software engineering was cheaper, but I want to switch, I know it might be to late to switch now buti just think itsnever to late I really want to study game development. I've always wanted to. The reason i chooseto study software engineering here was to take of the stress from my parents because its way cheaper for them, though i thought I picked something related, it isn't qutie related as I thought Anyways an honest review of my university, its a really good, school, I like the people, the teachers, the enviroment is well suited for learning and all my friends studying with me or in other majors like the school.
