University of the West Indies - UWI, Mona (reviews)

I enjoyed by study at the university. The lecturers were friendly and had a passion for the subjects they taught. The west indian culture was kept alive with a multitude of activities for all diversity groups. It was truly an unforgettable experience and i would recommend it to anyone

My time so far at this institution has been nothing short of unpredictable as well as constant. This unpredictability stems from the fact that as, we do not know what rigors each week brings until faced with them head-on. The stability stems from the fact the pressure on us a students and “A” students to some extent to perform is relentless and it takes a strong mind and faith to persevere. However, the University of the West Indies has equipped me with the tools necessary to face the working world, as these are the challenges that I will have to face in a few months’ time and moving forward. Overall, my journey so far has been a revelation.

I would like to start this review off by saluting all who passed Computer Applications on their first try. The course was a force to be reckoned with. I know people who had to do about three resits (I am people). I feel as though I am exaggerating a bit but, let’s be honest. If you were a Marketing major, you couldn’t run away from it. I felt as though I knew what I was doing the majority of the time, only to be struck down when it came to “applying” it. But I persevered and came out on to. It is said that “the third time is the charm,” well it was quite charming indeed. Will come back here and let you guys know how Systems Analysis went. Godspeed to those out there who will be doing this dreadful yet useful course.

Starting university has been a challenge, but I have been learning a lot and meeting many interesting people. I do STEM courses which are very challenging, especially with the next-level scientific content that is to be absorbed. That being said, learning about things Im passionate about allows me to see the world in a whole different light.
