During my entire tenure at the Uni, I think it?s just the internet that bothered me, rest of the experience was really great. As I was a part of a few societies, I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people. There are so many societies you can join so you will definitely be able to find something you love.
Great Experience. Best university to study and make your career as they have multiple placement opportunities.
