What students say about it

Hello people, Firstly, the top notch part of the university is you can be yourself completely irrespective of any religion or background you coming from. Secondly, the first day is always scary and weird but the Student service and the students their was very helpful in enrolment to all the query's. Thirdly, being a food blogger i always hog onto the best hygienic food which the university have so many options to provide. Fourthly, the beauty of the lake , surrounding is so surreal we just forget that it's a university. As you know every good side have a bad side too . Although so many people keep saying not to form racism groups but yet it's been seen. Also Their is not much interaction of all the student's in class which gets at a way worst. It would be good if you have some plays or fun interaction among the class so that everyone opens up with each other. Thank you and happy to join HWU .

What students say about it

Course curriculum is very professional and advance. The whole learning process is made quite easier through proper coursework management. The grading is also fair (neither too strict nor too relax) with sufficient professional feedback.

What students say about it

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.
