Knowledge is universal ... does not matter where you get it. If you work hard and persistent, you will get what you want as far as knowledge is concerned. Facilities are there for consolidation and that's what our universities lack in. Books, lab equipment, audio-video interactions all fall into the category of facility. But still the types of schools affect your the scope of your level of knowledge only at the beginning... the most important school is your home ... home, parents and your gene decide how far you may go... the rest is circumstantial and that we call luck. There are a plenty of examples to support my view. If we keep on blaming our Universities for the level of knowledge we posess, we are doing injustice to our country a whole. By tradition we Nepalese are studious and still it amages me why we are so far behind. Where we lack facilities we should try to use our imagination. We should dream all the time. There is a good chance many of your dreams come true. For some dreams are ones you get when you are asleep. Others dream using wht they call simulation. In theory everything can be simulated using a computer. A computer may be a PC or may be just an abacus, or a calculator, or a log table or antilog table. My personl experience while attending a US University or for that matter a Russian University... it's you who should teach yourself not your teacher. In future ouru niv will and shall producestars
