University of the Witwatersrand - WITS Speciality : English Language & Literature
programme: Literature

Wits university is notorious for its high academic standards and its low graduation rate. As a student, I was often overwhelmed with a never-ending pile of on-comming submissions. Most assesments within a specific academic block were crammed into one or two weeks meaning I would often have atleast 3 highly demanding submissions within the same week (I once wrote an English Literature test and had to rush halfway across campus to write a Symbolic Logic test that had been scheduled right after the first test). Despite all of this Wits provides additional resources and mental health support for its students through the efforts of the CCDU. Overall my time at wits has been turbulent but filled with much support.
