What Students Say
Likes
- ECU is recognized for best education provider for cyber security overall in Australia, and I research about the program and thought of going forward with it.
- "There's nothing specific which is unique or special about this place. To an outsider, it would seem the most normal thing ever and yes, it is no doubt. “it's nothing but everything” I won't start mentioning the points that people here, have already talked about ( pros and cons). I guess what I like might be subjective and I don't want any debates about that(Our Campus is way too cute and lovely)."
Dislikes
- I don't hate anything about college per se. There are some human behaviors and personality traits I don't like, but these also occur outside of college. As a student, more than anything else, I wished I had more spending money. I was on an extremely tight budget with no money for dating or entertainment. This had not been true for me in high school because I had a part-time job and could use my parents' car. As a college student, I had more freedom, but in some ways I was unable to take advantage of the freedom.
- As a university student, you may have some professors who are better than others, and some professors may use grading criteria you don't like. Although this is not pleasant, learning to deal with it effectively may help you to prepare for your work life after graduation. We all have to deal with people who have power in organizations and use that power in ways we do not like.
- University is a wonderful educational experience. It's not always pleasant, but even the unpleasant experiences may teach you important lessons. If you keep that in mind, you may benefit more from university than if you focus on what you hate about it.
