Tips: TRU isn't a prestigious university, it is however a public university which is comparatively less expensive when compared to others, hence why most people decide to join TRU for the "University" and student life which you might not get in a college.

Tips: Lots of assignments and time management skills are required. Less rote learning and more understanding and developing social skills by participating in co-curricular activities.

Tips: It is a good university but not the best. If you have slightly low grades in your graduation and you want to pursue MBA from a public university then this is the right place. The minimum passing grades are 70% for each subject so be prepared for that, although the study pattern is not too hard. Most importantly, choose your instructor wisely. There are ratings, so you can check those before enrolling yourself in a course. The type of instructor matters a lot.

Likes (Safety): If I compare it with my home country,...
