University of Peshawar (reviews)

The University of Peshawar is one of the oldest and most respected universities in Pakistan. It has a beautiful campus with a mix of historic and modern buildings, surrounded by greenery and a peaceful environment. The atmosphere is great for studying, and many students from all over the country come here, which makes it diverse and lively.
In terms of academics, the university offers a wide range of programs in arts, sciences, social sciences, and professional studies. The faculty is generally well-qualified and experienced, although the teaching style can vary depending on the department. Some departments are known for their research and strong alumni network.
On the other hand, like many public universities, there are a few challenges. Administrative work can sometimes be slow, and facilities in certain areas could use more upgrades. Hostel life is affordable but not very modern, and students often have to manage with limited resources.
Overall, the University of Peshawar is a good option if you’re looking for quality education at a reasonable cost, especially if you value tradition, diversity, and a vibrant student community. It has its flaws, but the experience and exposure you get here are worth it.

Studying at the University of Peshawar had both positives and serious drawbacks. On the positive side, the professors were knowledgeable and supportive, and the university has a strong reputation in the region. However, the Computer Science department was far from what one expects in today’s tech-driven world. The department building was old and poorly maintained, and it really needs to be shifted to a modern facility. Almost all processes were manual, even though this was supposed to be a Computer Science programme.

The biggest issue was the lack of practical focus. Classes were mostly theory and exams, with little to no implementation of code or hands-on projects. Learning felt like memorization rather than gaining real technical skills.

In addition, our education was regularly disturbed because almost every month there were strikes by employees or teachers due to salary issues. These strikes wasted valuable study time and created uncertainty. The university environment was also heavily influenced by politics, with groups, protests, and student clashes being common. All of this distracted from academics and made campus life stressful at times.

Opinion about the University
The University of Peshawar has potential, but its outdated system, constant strikes, and political environment take away from the learning experience. I appreciated the professors who genuinely wanted students to learn, but I disliked the infrastructure, lack of practical exposure, and continuous disruptions.

Recommendation
I would not recommend this university to students who want modern, practical, and industry-focused Computer Science education. It can give you a strong theoretical foundation, but you will need to put in extra effort outside the university to gain real skills and industry experience.

One of the best university of Peshawar Pakistan. Have studed Bs Economics there for 4 Years and I have lived there for almost 5 year. I have learn Alot during me time there in University which help me in my Daily life.

The main thing in our uni u like is timely do show result and on regular basis classes but the thing I dislike is that the GPA system of university is on hand of our teacher and then he do favouritism on gender basis
