I am a Mechanical Engineering student studying on the Howard campus of UKZN and my experience has been really pleasant. My lecturers are dedicated and knowledgable in their respective fields. The tutors and teaching assistants are also helpful and provide almost instantaneuos help. Their are various computer labs that have access to state of the art technology. Their is a really good educational library on my campus and I have found it pleasant to study within the library. On the social side, there are always events and exciting things on campus. Yesterday (16 May 2025), Redbull was on campus and played music which really got the energy up in a lot of students. The people are full of life and joy. There is a lot of stress in engineering due to the difficulty of the degree but most of us have found people we fit in with and can talk to. UKZN is not the best university in South Africa but the curriculum and environment is undoubtably pleasant.
