The Best Mining School
My study experience at Montana Technological University was excellent. Though I completed the first semester online, I really loved the teacher-student relationship. The (practically oriented) teaching style of the professors made the courses I read very easy to understand, and I'm proud to say I am able to apply most of the things I learned, in my field of work.
The beauty of Mountain Top University
Mountain Top University is one of the best universities in Nigeria. They have a vibrant atmosphere and an interesting learning environment. Generally, the school is good for learning. My experience at mountain Top is still ongoing but I am have a great time so far. The school is friendly, topped with great friendships to make.
Montana Tech
Very cheap for a four year accredited stem university. Terrible food, many faculty members treat students as lesser-than, there is a huge " sink or swim" culture on campus, and several "weed-out" classes with professors who pride themselves on having an impossibly hard class. On-campus jobs, even uni-level tutoring, typically pay $9/hr. Not a "college-town" and no places to study after 9 pm on campus either. No coffee shops around town stay open past 3 pm. But still, pretty low cost for an accredited stem degree.
