Official ‘SMU!’ sponsored articles!

 

Howdy folks!

This week’s article is the first official ‘SMU!’ sponsored article and it’s part of a series of articles titled “A Guide to Free Education Abroad”. This week’s article ‘American Undergraduate Studies” explores how you can get free education in the US studying in a 4 year undergraduate program. Hope you’re as excited about this series as we are!

Last week’s poll turned out to garner pretty decent response and here are the results:-

What does our education system need the MOST right now?

  • Better teachers  4 (21%)
  • Harder working students  2 (10%)
  • Better infrastructure, better labs and libraries etc.  5 (26%)
  • Better and more advanced syllabus  8 (42%)

It seems, according to our readers, better and more advanced syllabus is the need of the hour.

And as for this week’s poll question…
