“Critical Thinking”

Overall

Beautiful campus some excellent teachers, and amazing academic advisors. Overall great academic atmosphere that helped me foster critical thinking skills.

Completing administrative tasks is a nightmare.

Student life is underwhelming. The student centers are small and poorly managed.

As an international student, I experienced too much bullying in class and aggressive behavior on campus by entitled Lebanese students who seem to think they own the university.

Pros

Academic life and Professors

Cons

Student life and entitled Lebanese students
