Decorated with a cloud motif, these buildings house the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Business Administration.

When the weather is fine, students sit on the terrace and enjoy the fresh air.

Housing the Faculty of Law, this building has a wide range of law books in storage, including those related to certification examinations. The building is uniquely designed, with walls comprising large windows and an open ceiling reaching up to the third floor. The lawn stretching out in front of the building is used as a stage during university festivals.

Students are free to use the numerous computer rooms in this building. With around 400 computers connected to about 30 servers, the building serves as a hub for computer networking on campus.

With a collection in the region of 380,000 books, the library is a treasure trove of knowledge and information. In this bright room with windows on all sides, students can comfortably immerse themselves in their studies.

Located on the first floor of the building is the study counseling room, where students can consult staff about their studies.

A variety of well-balanced and reasonably priced food items are served at the cafeteria, which was renovated and reopened in 2011. Diners can choose from a range of dishes, including a Special of the Day, a buffet, a salad bar, and desserts.
