Transformative experience

I am an international student at Sichuan university. Studying overseas had a profound impact on me. My viewpoint was expanded and my education was enhanced by navigating a new culture, getting to know people from different backgrounds, and immersing myself in a new academic environment. I like the experience of trying different kinds of cuisines although it is a challenge to adjust to new foods.

honest review

As an international student, I appreciate UNDA’s excellent professors and supportive learning environment. However, I feel that some administrative processes could be more flexible and student-friendly. For example, the class allocation process can be quite difficult and stressful. Since the university aims to create a positive environment for learning, providing greater flexibility and support with class scheduling would significantly improve the overall student experience.

Living the law at IMSU

If you’re thinking of studying law, let me tell you—IMSU is where it’s at. The law faculty isn’t just packed with brilliant lecturers, we’ve got Senior Advocates of Nigeria teaching us. Which other university has it's Vice Chancellor actively involved in lectures? You’re learning straight from the best. But here’s the real deal: why just sit in class and listen to lectures when you can live the law? At IMSU, we don’t just study—we experience. From court visits to internships, legal workshops, and real chamber exposure, you actually get to see how the legal system works. And it doesn’t stop there. We debate with students from other universities, take part in quizzes, attend conferences, and build real-world skills outside the classroom. There’s a strong sense of community too—with student societies, legal clinics, and events that bring everyone together. IMSU Law really prepares you for the real world. It’s everything you need to grow into a confident, well-rounded lawyer. Trust me, IMSU Law isn’t just about getting a degree—it prepares you with the confidence and experience to take the legal world by storm.

Terrible management. Decided not to go.

To anyone who is about to consider going to Polimoda, don’t. I was due to go there to pursue my Master’s in October 2020. However, it got postponed due to Covid, and I am glad it did. I realized that the management had withheld information from me about the course requirements. Plus, they had also started giving out 50% scholarships to those who were applying much later than I did, for the same course year. Besides withholding information and behaving erratically about money, the school’s management stopped responding to my concerns. I sent a request seeking to withdraw my admission and was met with no response. I reached out to the Italian Consulate to assist me, and upon their questioning, the management stated that they had always been in touch with me. They are unprofessional, unethical, and raise serious questions about the quality (and legitimacy) of the school.
