Mixed feelings

There is a big variety of departments to choose from, including ones that are the only available ones within the country. Unfortunately on the other hand, the organization and communication of the institution was not on the level of quality that one would expect from one of the top universities in the country. Regarding the quality of education, I had very mixed experiences as there are big differences within the departments and among the professors.
