program is good, but social life is dead

The university itself is a bit outdated and the atmosphere can be quite serious. It can be difficult to enjoy the social aspect of university life when you're focused on a demanding academic program. However, it's important to remember that there is a diverse group of students at the university, with a variety of backgrounds and interests. It's possible to find a niche and connect with like-minded people, even in a more traditional academic environment.

Learning in a practical way

This university has a lot of qualities such as adapting to students in order to optimize learning, and the desire to confront the student as quickly as possible with the world of work. On the other hand, I would criticize this school for poorly disseminated information and a gloomy community life.
