Life in KU

It was amazing, the professors were great. The school compound was extremely big and walking from one lecture hall to another was a big challenge. The long ques during meals at the mess was crazy. There is this thing called missing marks, you could visit exam office a million times without help.

No control of staff

This is a university yet allows their Social Media people to spend all day trolling facebook football sites. How can this place be taken seriously? If you want to know more just go look at the forum posting activity, how unprofessional for an academic institution - tells you all you need to know
