Things I learned at Lebanese University during my whole years ofstudying

Nothing!
To be honest, really i don't know from where to start, but the years i spent at Lebanese university was really spent on nothing, i learned nothing there related to English language.. The courses we took there were only novels "world novels", like (pride and prejudice, the prophet, waiting for Godot, hamlet, Pamela, Shakespeare poems, William Wordsworth). Everything were related to English literature only, nothing related to grammar, conversation, vocab s, communication skills, or to any kind of courses that students in other universities (private universities) are learning it..
During those days, my only wish was to finish university and get graduate, i didn't give an importance to the coming days when am going to teach at schools, what to do, how to plan my lessons,and to deal with students.... And the term objective was unknown to me!
What i can say, maybe it's cause of the national curriculum who need update or it's cause of bad management there or Doctors themselves who didn't made us a single day that they care for our education and development.
Really there is a need for a change in the curriculum first, then in the Doctors who are responsible for everything of their students, but indeed they don't care at all..

A Glance About Lebanese University الجامعة اللبنانية

From two years ago when i was a student at Lebanese University, I exposed to many problems that really effect me bad as well as my friends too.. 

By summary: Students at the Lebanese University face many problems and difficulties that hinder their graduation. I am a Lebanese University graduate, and I really had hard times while I was studying English Literature in one of its branches. I"m going to give few examples; I know that a lot worse stuff happened in other faculties.

The Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences in Zahle is fully marginalized. I don't really know where to start! When I was there, there was always no electricity due to bad management and lack of responsibility. I also had friends with special needs and disabilities who used to face a big difficulty in going up stairs to reach their Classes.

Also, there are no libraries, there was only one library but it was more like a joke of a library cause always it is closed and you can't enter it or even take anybook. Also there were no computer labs or web-based research tools, I don't even remember that we were asked once to do a research! Our grades were all based on one exam (Final Exam) in the whole year which brings students to be at disadvantage. 

Moreover, many administrators had political affiliations, and students who shared the same affiliations were “special”. However, those who were known to be sharing different affiliations, they were disadvantaged too. 

When we talk about the Lebanese University,the question repeats itself: why is there always oppression and prejudice against Lebanese University students? Is it because they are poor? This shouldn't be happening since this university is the government university and it should reflect its image. 

Sorry to say that, but Lebanese University will never be what we all want it to be, unless issues like those are addressed and treated. Unfortunately, so far no such intent is available.

Really it's miserable that private Universities are better from public one, the university that sum all kinds of people "the poor & the rich"..
