Student review [#80374]
for Medical Physiology
at North-West University - NWU
Potchefstroom, South Africa
I’ll be honest, my initial experience at North-West University was overwhelming. The administrative issues regarding registration were tedious and frustrating. The registration fee of over R12,000 was also a significant financial burden. Moving to a new province with a predominantly Afrikaans-speaking population was a huge cultural adjustment, which reflected in my academic performance.
However, I was fortunate to receive assistance from the SRC fund, which helped me cover some of my basic needs. The academic counseling services also provided invaluable support, helping me get back on track. With time, I adjusted to the new environment and culture.
One challenge I faced was finding suitable accommodation. As a newcomer, I found that most of the good accommodations were taken by senior students, leaving limited options that were not very safe. Nevertheless, I persevered and eventually settled in.
Overall, while my experience at North-West University was challenging at first, I eventually found my footing and received the support I needed to succeed.
