My time at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University was enriching academically. The university is growing rapidly and has a commendable focus on science and technology. However, the infrastructure has not caught up with the ambitions—there’s a shortage of facilities like labs and libraries. Professors were approachable and willing to support students, which helped a lot. If you’re passionate about tech and don’t mind some infrastructural hurdles, this university can be a good fit.
