A practical experience and a bit too harsh for some.
Tips: If you are planning on working part-time and studying as well. Buckle up as it's gonna be a ride. It will get lonely and tiresome. Not trying to scare anyone but it is just a harsh reality. Scholarships depend as there is a complicated process for it. Quite satisfied with the university experience and course.
