Student review [#32667] for Journalism and Mass Communication
at Amity University

A few departments in the university are good, but the one I studied at (Amity School of Communication, Noida campus) was absolutely not worth the fee the university charges. A few faculty members were good teachers and had industry experience, but many others were worthless. I understand the case is similar for many institutes, but when you are paying a hefty amount of money for a course, you expect industry-oriented training rather than teaching methods like a dictation of text, and worthless and non-practical written evaluations.

On top of it, the campus non-AC hostel was pathetic, to say the least for the money they charge. Cleanliness of washrooms was hardly done, mosquitos were around in hundreds most of the time (pest control was seldom done), and hostel rules said you need to be back to your hostel building before 10 pm, which does not speak good of a “university”. Food was not included in the already-hefty hostel fee, and the most affordable meal in the canteen used to be decent only sometimes, while the canteens sold good quality food at a heavier price.

Also, the campus library, though very spacious, air-conditioned and comfortable, closed at around 8 pm daily, which means there was no option to concentrate on studies or learning activities at late evenings for students who wanted to.
