Student review [#90343] for Communication
at North-West University - NWU

My first semester at university was a mix of growth, challenges, and exciting new experiences. Adjusting to the academic workload was tough at first, with higher expectations and a faster pace than high school, but I gradually developed better time management and study habits. Lecturers were mostly supportive, and online resources helped me keep up with coursework. I enjoyed the social side of campus life and meeting new people, joining clubs, and attending events made the transition easier. Although there were moments of feeling overwhelmed, especially during exams, the experience taught me resilience. Support services like mental health and academic guidance could be improved, but overall, the semester was rewarding, and I’m looking forward to the next one with more confidence.
