Central University of Technology, Free State - CUT Speciality : Tourism & Hospitality
programme: Hospitality Management

I really enjoyed the courses offered by the university, especially in my specific program. One downside was that some areas of the campus lacked Wi-Fi connectivity, but overall, the institution provided excellent lectures, and the instructors were dedicated to teaching. I appreciated how the school accommodated students by keeping the library open late. The classrooms were generally clean, and I liked that access to the campus was secure, with guards checking student IDs.

The campus was quite large, so getting around was a bit of an exercise but still manageable. My particular course took place mostly on one side of the campus, so traveling wasn’t too burdensome unless there were exams in other locations. I loved the cafeteria, as the daily meals were always enjoyable. I am grateful to have received a bursary to fund my studies, although I found the student support associated with it to be somewhat lacking.

My course in Hospitality was very demanding, with classes from 7:00 AM until 6:00 or 7:00 PM. It was one of the top three most challenging courses at the institution. I also appreciated how the campus supported students’ mental health by offering counseling services, a police station, and medical help on-site. Overall, the university was very progressive.
