What students say about sociology

I love the city in general. The University's libraries are good. with proper facilities that I can use, such as discussion rooms, computers, printers, even 3D printer! Some buildings look so old but in positive ways, make them look classic and cultured. However, in my own experience, some classrooms are a little bit aged. i mean, like some chairs are feel old, they are sometimes kind of wobbly, and some of them do not have enough leg room. Main library can be crowded when exam days come, but I think that is something that can not be avoided. i think it is good to add some space for classrooms or some like study hubs.

What students say about sociology

Aside from a few unreliable facilities here and there, the school has done well to provide everything it can to its students academically, mentally and socially. My only real complaint is how minimal and undecorated the interiors are- it definitely reads dreary at times.
