good experience at Tanta University
I've had a good experience until now at Tanta University, They treat us good they listen to us. Good doctors will be with you the whole semester on and off the classes. they organize major activities for the students, we are in safe hands. The only thing I don't like there is the Students Affairs they are so, lazy and they don't help you in any kind. I hope that this disadvantage would someday change, if it does then Tanta university would be a really good experience in your life and you won't regret it.
nothing
My university review experience was clear, organized, and very helpful in understanding the programme I am applying for. I began by exploring the official website to review the programme structure, course content, and research opportunities. The information provided was detailed and easy to follow, which helped me evaluate how well the programme aligns with my academic background and future goals. I also checked the application portal and found it user-friendly, with straightforward instructions and accessible guidelines. In addition, the communication from the admissions team was professional and supportive, providing quick and helpful responses to my enquiries. Overall, this review experience strengthened my confidence in the university and confirmed that it is a suitable environment for my academic and professional development.
students level and professors assistants
I am a second-year student in computers and information at Tanta University it's a good university to study this major but it is not the best or one of the best in Egypt because the students' levels won't encourage you to do your best, there are some professors will always put you in pressure, treats you badly and there is some assistant also won't help you but they will do their best to make you not to get the grades you wanted to get by making exams which contain questions need more time
