Overall: *A sound school overall, but I definitely did not expect anything amazing. Academic activities that have a chance of success are the main kick. You readily blend in social scene if you have something to keep you busy and engrossed.*

Placement: Most importantly, they are usually very job-heavy which is key to majors where you easily find a job on the market for example, business and engineering. Otherwise, you have to create your own job opportunities.

Infrastructure: Campuses may provide the most aesthetically pleasing library buildings and academic spaces; however, the living facilities are not always up to par. The majority of the dorms out there beg for an upgrade or don't have an up-to date design unless you are willing to spend premium prices.

Hostel: Living without spending huge sums of money for new place, you should be knowledgeable about such features of your room. The more time you spend in the dining halls, the more unbearable you find the routine and the insufficient quota.
