As university it’s ok, as system of registration and grading for international students it’s BAD. The team in the international relation has to be changed ! They have an attitude against international students .. and I can tell you that they are pretty much happy to kick you out ! Just before you involve real university courses. The question is why ? Maybe they are thinking that it’s great to eliminate young students so that I can show a strong university procedure .. just know that these students came from long way homes .. and they are paying double if not triple in Dollars than any university in the US. THEY DONT DESERVE SUCH TREATMENT

I'm reviewing the university as a father of Student. I liked the place from first sight, they have bus services to certain places, restaurants, Starbucks, students accommodation very clean. However, I have some very serious comments, some flors for boys in the same girls buildings. You can access the accommodation building even if you are not leaving in, they must have access card for each building
