Good campus facilities and lecturers

I really liked some of the friendly lecturers and tutors as they taught really well and were supportive throughout. But the studio environment honestly wasn’t great. The air conditioning had been broken for almost two years and still wasn’t fixed by the time I graduated. The school’s temporary fix was to put a bunch of air coolers in the studio, with their condensers placed along the corridor. Because of that, the whole hallway of the architecture studio was super hot the entire year. I really hope the school finds a proper solution for this soon.

Taylor's Tailor

I have spent the past 3 years studying at Taylor's University and during those 3 years I have found myself challenged by great difficulties brought on by both myself and the things around me. It can be somewhat easy to find community here if you know where to look and while the facilities here may leave some to be desired, the overall experience is decent.

Degree at Taylors

The degree was taught in a seemingly ease manner, the lecturers were very helpful and the course work was not overwhelming and well balanced to have a social life. The campus is beautiful and huge so you feel more encouraged to go to school and spend time after classes to study more.
