About Education system

Im saira students of university of the Punjab i complete my Bs Economics recently i like my university education systems because they give opportunities and chance of needed students of Pakistan and others countries to complete education through funds and scholarships

The realization that this program wasn't for me

Nothing special honestly. It's just a very ordinary institute some history but overall it lacks a lot of potential attributes that make a great place to learn and grow. It could be run better then it is.
