(Mechanical engineering Student – 3rd year / 5)
Too many technical essays to write, not enough lab infrastructure or hands on experience. Its a great opportunity to get in touch with a variety of like-minded people, make friends and professional connections that will surely help you down the road. There is also a vast number of different courses provided that will only give you basic skills and the way to follow if you wanna learn more. All in all, nobody is gonna help you personally. If you like a particular subject and wanna learn more about it, you gotta be willing to work on it on your own. In other words, university is not like school. It just shows you the way, and in that NTUA succeeds.
