B.Sc. Forestry at KAFCOL
"When I first decided to apply to the Forestry program at Kathmandu Forestry College, I never thought that it would be such a remarkable experience. It would be a long essay if I am to explain how amazingly the four years of my Bachelor’s Degree in KAFCOL has shaped my career path."
KAFCOL, it just feels like yesterday that I was a freshman in the college. Time literally flew by. My days at KAFCOL were the best. Not only did I learn forestry and its technicalities, but I learned the way of life there. It was the place where I had my visions for life straightened out.
"I am where am I today because of all the support that I received from KAFCOL. From the administration staffs to my professors, each and everyone helped me grow and realize my potential. Moreover, studying forestry at Kathmandu Forestry College is worth it!"
