Amazing life at APU

Likes

The first thing I liked that its an very inclusive college and you feel equal and they don't judge on from where you come from
And obviously the office hours which is a great help for your learning and development

Fees and Financial Aid:

The course is very much affordable according to the placement opportunities. And you get financial assistantship based on your family income and also based on your experience. And apart from this college also give you students assistantship where you can earn.
