Exceptional Faculty and Good facilities
The current professors of the faculty of Environmental health engineering are some of the best worldwide. The problems with this university are mostly systemic, and not at all academic.
The whole 4 yrs in college
The first 3 years was so theoretical but during internships and case reports was much better and I gain much experience.
