A Cheap and Great Option

I am a student at Bath Spa University - RAK, their main campus in the United Arab Emirates. As far as I know, there are other Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ajman campuses. I've only been to the RAK and Ajman campus and I could say that their campus and environment needs some work. Their walls, hallways, classrooms, and canteen need some decorating to entice their students. Their campus is also fairly small compared to the students that are enrolled in their university. Despite all the improvements needed in their environment and campus, their education standard is pretty good as it is a British curriculum. If you are looking for a university with a British curriculum, is cheap, and has accommodating teachers, Bath Spa University could be the choice for you. They give out free scholarships that could range up to 50% off your original tuition fees. This could be a big help to students who are looking for high education quality but at the same time managing their finances.

The Most Sustainable and Eco-Friendly School in the Philippines!

As the title shows it is one of the most sustainable and Eco-Friendly School in the Philippines! The course i'm taking is Petroleum Engineering which is great. There are a lot of highly qualified Professors & Alumni's that gives us free seminars about this course.And in the Philippines there are two schools only that offers this course. And PSU is one of them. There are a lot of of foreign students that are studying here too. some are from Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, India etc.. I have a lot of friends that studied here to base on my recommendations. and they liked it here. Imagine going to a university that look like a forest and outside of it is like a vacation.
