    My experience at UPSA

    UPSA is a beautiful school which nurtures and shape you for the future. I was there from 2015 to 2019 and I do not regret my decision to enroll there. Even though the campus wasn’t spacious enough, building structures were strategically positioned creating free and easy movement.
    They have a flat of four storeys dedicated for a library with a vast array of books – well labelled according to discipline. The best part is, the library operated 24 hours a day.
    When it comes to teaching and learning, the university boasts of highly qualified lecturers and spacious lecture halls.
    In terms of security on campus, they are top notch. The campus is always lit with security men patrolling the campus.
    What I didn’t like when I was there is, even though I was an evening student, during exams they combined both regular students and evening student and I struggled because I worked while schooling.

    Campus life

    UPSA is a good school with some problems. It has strong classes, great research opportunities, and a diverse student body. The teachers are experts and the campus is lively. However, some courses added to our major course are not relevant , and not all courses are available. The school’s administration can be slow, and some buildings are old. Despite these issues, UPSA is still a good choice for students who want to succeed

    Great Teaching Services

    I like how the classes are well structured and the use of technologies such as projectors and speakers are flawless. The lecturers
    give students the opportunity to ask and answer questions and the disciplinary code of conduct is well observed.
