“Multi cultural university”

Desmond O

Overall

Darlan university is one of the most amazing places for international students to study and high level education and experience.

The combination of international students with friendly instructors is something I find personally motivating, the professors prefer to be called by name and remain open approachable at all times.

The university gets you to experience the Scandinavian nature and culture and is renowned for ice games that are rich for students coming from outside the nordic.

Pros

Teaching approach and student teacher relationship is amazing. Multicultural.

Cons

Borlange campus where I study is a small town.
