Student review [#6137]
at French University in Armenia - UFAR

I’m a student of marketing faculty, and honestly, I am disappointed with my choice. As an advantage, I can say that you can learn additional 2-3 new languages fluently. Also, after graduating you have 2 degrees.
However, I’m a sophomore and during these two years I haven’t learned anything but simple principles of marketing with Kotler’s book. For you to know, today all the greatest marketing specialists say that Kotler’s book is too old for today’s market, even Kotler himself says that the market has changed and it needs a total new strategy. What I’m trying to say is that this university does not give you proper knowledge in the marketing field. We study economics, accounting, management etc. Maybe it is a good business school, but personally, I regret entering. I read tones of books, I do different internships and go to all kind of seminars and training to have the knowledge, to get to know to skills and simply to learn what my profession is.
On the other hand, in this university, you are always mentally abused. Those security guys who ALWAYS YELL at you simply because you talked to your friend during the break or because you were late for 5 minutes,some lecturers who kill the creativity and motivation in you, the Head which makes changes whenever and however they want and you can’t contribute to stopping those changes, because you don’t have a voice.
I do think that education has a vital importance, but also I think that your health, inner peace and harmony are more important. Internet is full of books, mentors and information. My advice is, choose a university where you’ll be MENTALLY STABLE and just learn to learn on your own.
P.s. maybe this review is harsh, these are things which are real but unfortunately, no one talks about them.
P.s.s. we don’t have cafeteria, proper lecture halls, the building sucks, oh and yes, you can’t celebrate the new year for 4 years as you have a bunch of exams during that time. Good luck!
