Competition in Taylor's University

One amazing character that Taylor's University offers are the chances to step up you game and skills in that certain talent you have by joining in competitions. I mean really, even in other university, students shouldn't take them for granted. Whether is it for fun, to enhance your skills or for your portfolio, if you win, you leave with great prizes and satisfaction!

Doesn't matter if it is inter-college or closed tournament. At least your are getting your butt out there and doing something rather than just being like any other student out there that might just graduate with a degree like yours. What will separate you from them and get a higher chance for a better career? A good resume with all your activities.

Recently, I stumbled across 2 competitions. All links to FB event page.
