Wasting four years of my life for a certificate

I graduated from this university and after graduating from the university I could not learn anything I just wasted four years of my life here with no qualified teachers and no kind of educational materials and equipment that can give us technical education. The international section for studying here is very bad and I wasted four years of my life studying here. I don't want anyone else to waste their life by coming here. They will get a better university. I think it would be best for them and better for their life if they do those in South Korea. I didn't learn anything after studying for four years, so I hope you will think carefully and make a decision.
