Commitment to education

Being a small University, I felt like I was at home, the teachers were very professional and dedicated to their students, the management was what I liked the most because they listened to their students for any improvement that was needed. With all pride I would recommend it, so that they continue to graduate excellent professionals. Something that I didn't like when I entered was that I didn't have many career options to study.

Good learning environment

The learning environment is conducive. good accommodation for students especially the female hostels, almost 24/7 electricity. secure environment. When it comes to academic performance I'd say they are average, The lecturers are sometimes not motivated to teach because of delay in their salaries but overall the university is good but could be better with better government,
