The best part about TARUC is the affordable fees it offered besides the convenient access to accommodation and food! Also, the campus's facilities and an ample of societies and events are bound to keep you busy during your time in TARUC. However, the insights and knowledge from classes is fairly limited. A hectic study life is to be expected as assignments and exams could almost be like your daily chores. My advice for prospective students is to keep reading from various sources to gain more exposure and knowledge which will be useful to your personal development and career prospects.+ Read more - Show less
