Can't really say much about which is better... But UMT has it's share of problems...

1. Management (not the Lecturers) is slow, cuts corners and generally doesn't give a damn about the quality of education.

2. Good lecturers tend to move on pretty soon. Some of the entrenched faculty is okay but the quality lecturers always leave for better pastures usually due to interference by the management.

3. The Science and Engineering department is not that great. Computer Science enrollment is extremely low and recently they shut down the Computer Engineering degree.

4. Academic competition is very low. Student body is generally mixed. Plus, UMT is stuffing students as fast as it can enroll them so overcrowding is starting to occur in all the different programs.

On the up side;

The School of Business is much better run and actually has a dean who knows what he's doing. There are a lot of talks and seminars being held and UMT is actually attracting qualified people to come and speak here. The IT department is trying to get better, the computer lab and library is fairly decent. So there's hope yet.
