Flexibility: University of South Africa allowed me to study at my own pace and choose when and where I study.
Accessibility: I could access course materials and lectures from anywhere with an internet connection.
Cost-effective: University of South Africa was more affordable due to reduced commuting and housing expenses.
Career advancement: It enabled me to balance work and education.
However there was some disadvantages like;
Limited social interaction: I would miss out on face-to-face interactions with peers and professors.
Self-discipline required: It was sometimes challenging to stay motivated and manage my time effectively.
Technology issues: Technical problems sometimes disrupted my learning experience.
Less networking: Building professional connections was more difficult in the online setting.
As a first year student, it is natural to be anxious and even a little scared. What I like about the programme I am enrolled for(Bachelor of Arts in Psychology), is how clear and concise the modules and assignments are because it relieves a bit of pressure and makes life a whole lot easier. What I dislike in a sense is that we often face the system crashing which can be quite nerve-wracking when you are denied access. Nevertheless I am thoroughly enjoying my studies as I am constantly learning new concepts,making friends and growing as an individual.
