I spent about 2 years of my university in the online education process due to the pandemic. This was the most important problem for me because engineering should be applied, lab environment and interactive. In this process, laboratory lessons were inefficient. During my time at the school, I participated in the lessons constantly, I am sure that I will remember the lessons that I asked questions to my teachers even if it was a long time. The interest of our teachers is generally high, this affects me positively. The negative side I see is the disconnection in the online period, I think that the lack of communication in the management part is reflected in the students.

Very helpful professors
The university of Framingham State is excellent and diverse. The setting is excellent. Everybody is cordial and inviting particularly to green bean who are simply coming in and attempting to make new companions. The professors make it possible for students to receive assistance in any way they can in order to pass their classes, despite the intense nature of the classes.
