Campus: The campus isn't great, especially the buildings. The food in the mess is okay, nothing special. Sports are fun here. The classrooms are just okay, nothing fancy.

Placement: I was really hopeful about getting a job after college because they promised 100% placements. But in the end, only 3 companies showed up for placements. The rest were just BPOs and other companies. If I knew I'd end up in a BPO job, I could've skipped college and gone straight from high school.
