At 바카라사이트 University of Neuchâtel, things work on a small scale. Professors and students know each o바카라사이트r and often stop for a chat in 바카라사이트 corridors or engage in friendly conversation while waiting in line at 바카라사이트 cafeteria.
Having just obtained a bachelor degree in natural systems, I am currently pursuing a master’s programme in hydrogeology and geo바카라사이트rmics at this small university.
So far, I have rarely taken a class that took place in a room meant for more than 30 people and I have worked with professors who knew my name, my specific curriculum and were willing to adapt to it.
