Great University
Overall Great experience. professors were nice and always wiling to help us. The building is a modern one and has a lot of facilities, the food is very good and always fresh. A few professors are organising events with other students which were graduated there in order to pass on valuable information regarding their activities and their jobs. There are also plenty of international trips and international contests.

How to study by yourself
The buildint it's not great and neither the teachers. Some of them don't teach at all or just read some long,boring and outdated presentation but don't make you actually understand what they are saying. They only teach teoretical stuff and when it comes to actual programming we only so some basic things. The "homeworks" and projects are long and complex and what they teach is not actually usefull.Some of the teachers asks for full attendence to their classes (and make it a requierment to be allowed to take the exams) and then they don't teach at all. Still there are a few teachers that try to do their job and catch our attention with interesting lessons and funny projects
