pls tell me im not alone in this academic chaos era 😭

Hello everyone. I’ve been living in the UAE for more than half of my life and my father wants me to study in Pakistan since education here is very expensive. Ive been researching universities and GIKI honestly seems like an amazing option on paper.

But I wanted to ask people who are actually there or know the reality of it how is GIKI really? We all know things can look perfect from the outside but the inside experience can be very different.

I personally love the campus location and the environment it seems to offer but something in me keeps wondering if it might turn out to be very different from what I expect. So Id really appreciate honest opinions about everything: academics, hostel life, student culture, social life, opportunities, management, safety, overall vibe, and whether students are genuinely happy there.

Especially if you came from abroad or had to adjust from another country, Id love to hear your experience too. Thank you.
