Moreover the juniors and seniors share a great bond as well.

Student views on the faculty and exams

There are three exams confucted in total. The mid term, end term and end term Jury. The faculties are very subjective some of them are great and very nurturing whilst some are extremely partial and hypocritical. It is not always a good relation with the faculty
