Loved being at the campus

Placement support was good, but still needs better improvement. Campus life here is really excellent. There are huge grounds to play, party and hang out. There are many places to eat in the campus. The food is very cheap in the campus. Also, there is a library very close to the dormitory, so you can easily check out books without going out. The best thing is, the library is open all day, so you can schmooze with your friends and classmates even when you study. The professors are very friendly and they want to see every one of you succeed. There are also many student clubs and societies which you can join to learn and grow as a person. You can go out, party with friends and still save money because of the affordable cost.
