What I like about MAGES is that they have a small Student-Lecturer ratio, it allows the lecturers to get to know us and where we lack as developers, plus the lecturers are working in the industry so what they are teaching us is up-to-date as well.
The main reason for choosing MAGES was people's love for gaming increased when they joined MAGES. I wanted to do something that is both creative and programming (not just one side like coding).
