The salt dome of this cave, which is made of igneous rocks, was initially one layer and over time, it has created the candles of this cave. It was said that this cave was known as Three Naked Men in the old days, this name was given because three geologists from the Czech Republic went to this cave for mapping. To map the bottom of the cave, they had to swim in salt water, for this purpose they got naked and swam the water parts of this cave for mapping. Thus, this name was given to the salt cave.

You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is.
