Amity Global Institute provides great exposure to its students.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should understand its academic expectations, campus culture, and available resources. Academically, the college likely has a rigorous curriculum, so students should be prepared for an environment that values independent study, critical thinking, and time management. It's beneficial to familiarize themselves with the specific course requirements for their major, as well as the faculty and any unique learning opportunities, such as research projects or internships, which are often crucial for professional development. Campus culture can vary widely between institutions, so understanding the social environment can help students transition smoothly. Financial aid and scholarship opportunities are also essential to explore beforehand, as managing finance is often a significant concern for students.
Likes (Part time work): The campus offers a diverse range of clubs, organizations, and events that allow students to explore their interests, meet new people, and develop skills beyond the classroom. Whether it's academic societies, cultural groups, sports teams, or volunteer organizations, there are countless opportunities to get involved and make meaningful connections. The college also hosts regular events, such as workshops, guest lectures, and cultural festivals, which enrich the campus atmosphere and provide students with the chance to learn, relax, and celebrate together. Additionally, the student support services are excellent, offering resources like counselling, wellness programs, and career guidance. The diversity and inclusivity of the student body contribute significantly to the positive environment. Meeting people from different backgrounds and perspectives has broadened my understanding and allowed me to grow both intellectually and personally.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The professors in my programme are not only highly qualified but also passionate about their subjects, bringing a wealth of real-world experience and academic knowledge into the classroom. They make complex topics accessible by using clear, practical examples and actively encourage critical thinking and open discussion, which enhances the learning experience. They go beyond their scheduled office hours to help students who need extra support, showing a genuine interest in each student's progress. This mentorship has been invaluable for me, as it not only aids in my understanding of the material but also motivates me to strive for excellence.
