A new year, a new dream

As an aspiring architecture student, I believe every single day is a new day with new targets and achievements. The University I'm studying at has multiple facilities, although it's not among top world universities, but the faculty of this University is cooperative, they encourage new students and help them stand on their feet. To anyone who is disheartened in not being able to get in one of the top universities either by personal issues or by not being able to achieve good grades, don't be so negative, because every day when we wake up, we are given a new opportunity. A little hardwork and going around exploring stuff can help you earn your dream goals. For me this new environment is like a completely different world, where I get an opportunity to learn new things about everyone around me, and get a chance to explore the world with the eyes of these great teachers

Uni Pressure and how it trains you

Life is not easy. There is hard work, discipline, dedication, grunt work, involvement. One thing Indus Valley sparked in us was the will to succeed and the grit to stick to the plan of doing so. The concept of time dissolved with staying up nights facing fast-paced submission schedules and professors who demanded second drafts until you got an A. With this kind of a grill, work-life now seems like a piece of cake - been there, done that!

KU review

I'm liking the university I'm currently enrolled just one thing I'm a bit skeptical about is always the limited exposure and opportunities regarding the degree. Apart from this, the curricula and the faculty is experienced and exceptional in their work.

Wonderful medical learning ambiance

Spending 8 9 hours a day, 6 days a week for 5 years makes a place your second home practically, due to which that region and its environment have a great impact on your essence, according to my incidents the entrance era for a year was extraordinary in terms of learning and development, teaching practice and faculty lived wonderfully. With the passing years as courses got complicated, I felt some of the faculty slightly got downhill. When it comes to the infrastructure, space facilities, and school buildings stood serviceable but it would have been great if there was another building for lecture halls (which is now constructed after I got graduated). Learning strategies could have been slightly better if field trips and practical exposure was discussed more than theory which supports fresh graduates in fetching reasonable job possibilities right after graduation.
