      Transportation in UNA is good because they provide me the shuttle bus to Walmart every Sunday. However, I sometimes feel accommodation and facilities are dirty.

      Almost everything is within walking distance, which is good (there is shuttle bus provided to get to the places which are not within walking distance). All the facilities (like gym or library) are new and well equipped. There is quite wide variety of available accommodation, so everyone can choose something that meets their individual needs. There are not many societies that students can join.
