My University "Dhaka University"

The University of Dhaka  also known as Dhaka University or simply DU, is the oldest university in modern Bangladesh. Established by British Imperial Government in 1921, it was modeled on Oxbridge education.Dhaka University gained a reputation as the "Oxford of the East" during its early years, and contributed tremendously to modern South Asian history.After the partition of India, it became the focal point of progressive and democratic movements in Pakistan. Its students and teachers played a central role in the rise of Bengali nationalism and the independence of Bangladesh.

Today, it is the largest public university in Bangladesh, with a student body of 33,000 and a faculty of 1,800. It was identified by AsiaWeek as one of the top 100 Universities in Asia.However since the 1990s, the university has suffered from intensely politicized, partisan and violent campus politics promoted by Bangladesh's feuding political parties.

I miss my university life very much.
