Better ask your self why you're making assumptions and a complete dick of your self!
What assumptions am I making?
Tell me now the level of the students at the REAL university is the same as that of the rest! Miles away...
The University of Cyprus is a Greek-language university (Modern Greek is a prerequisite) and thus has ties with Greek institutions, whereas at the rest you can study in English and have ties with US, English, and Australian institutions!
No you tell me which one is shitty!
Have you ever visited the Library of the UoC? Have you ever seen a thesis made by a student of the UoC and what references is it using? Have you ever seen the syllabus of a course and the depth at which foreign languages (including English) are a prerequisite? Have you ever seen the list of reference books each professor at the UoC suggests for his/her course?
You may imagine that the UoC is closely attached to the Greek ones, you are absolutely wrong.
If you think English is the ultimate language and source of scientific knowledge then consider that within the EU it is not, it comes second after German!!
Furthermore how many state Universities do you know which use a foreign language as their official one?
UC is good, but if you study in the same place that you lived your whole life, possibly living with your parents, then you miss a lot of things that you could gain by studying abroad.
