Unad

This university offers 100% online education programs, which allows people like me who for some reason must stay home. However, I believe there is little support, no virtual classes, and in most cases, students must do everything alone.

The worst experience

Do not study here, there are other better universities. The pensum are obsolete. The university is only interested in money. There are no international agreements, they do not have a good ranking, they do not promote research or culture of professional development
