Worst University Ever !!

As a first-year Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) student, I can confidently say this university is a complete disappointment. The lack of communication between lecturers and students is shocking—emails go unanswered, and there’s no support when issues arise. The infrastructure is falling apart—old, broken chairs that look like they belong in a primary school, dusty classrooms, and ancient computers that barely function (some seem to be from the early 2000s!). How are we supposed to learn modern computer science on relics? The online unit registration is a nightmare—it’s glitchy, unreliable, and has caused me to lose crucial units. Shockingly, even the fundamental computer science unit (the core of the degree!) was missing from allocations. The administration does nothing to fix these issues. Lecturers are unreliable—showing up late or not at all, with no makeup classes. The systems are always slow, and there are zero extracurricular activities, making campus life dull and isolating. Save your time and money—this place is a scam. If you actually care about your education, look elsewhere.

It is a resourceful and productive school

Students are equipped with all the necessary resources that is lecturers, class equipment, laboratories and lab equipment. However, the school staff may at times be reluctant to cater for students' needs.
