University of the Free State - UFS UV (reviews)

Every university have its good and the bad and what l have come to realise as a student is that an individual can only get to enjoy our prestigious school experience when you’re parents or a proper bursary that delivers what they promised pays for everything on time because if you’re using other bursaries it gets complicated incase they do not pay the university on time. This means you won’t face problems of getting deregistered, life would be flowing like milk and honey.

I like the fact that they renew the premises every now and then, it shows that they value a clean environment and want to make every space more appealing to student. They give students an opportunity to grow and gain experience other than schooling. The one this l dislike is the fact that student can choose to learn other modules in English or Afrikaans so if you understand both languages everything works in your favor if not you’ve got to stick to one language your proficient with.

If you enjoy a place of good reputation, set rules and standards where leaders do not take back their word then UFS it’s for you.

The University of the Free State offers a great experience to both gain an academic knowledge and personal growth before going into the world of work. What I like about the university is that it gave me the opportunity to be one of the few student to be accepted into the upper programme they offered at the South campus, which really developed me to fully complete my undergraduate degree and have good academic result to gain admission into honours. I would 100% recommend the University to other fellow students.

The University of the Free State offers one of the most comprehensive programs for the field of Communication. It covers all the key areas to make a success in an era where brands and compelling stories dominate the landscape. I learnt what it takes to develop a brand and the assignments equipped me with the skills to do so professionally. I highly recommend considering UFS to anyone who wishes to establish themselves in the field of marketing or communication.

The friendships I formed while studying have still stuck around even after my studies have completed. We eagerly look forward to each others success.

The university offers a top-notch education with a focus on practical application and critical thinking.

The professors are not only experts in their fields but also deeply passionate about teaching. They are accessible and genuinely care about the success of their students. The class sizes are reasonable, allowing for meaningful interaction and discussions.

What sets UFS apart is its dedication to community engagement. I had the opportunity to participate in various outreach programs that made a tangible difference in the lives of local residents. This hands-on experience was incredibly rewarding and provided a real-world context for my studies.

The campus itself is beautiful and well-maintained. The libraries are excellent resources, and the research facilities are state-of-the-art. I appreciated the investment in technology and resources to support both teaching and research.

On a personal note, the campus community is diverse and welcoming. I made lifelong friends from different backgrounds and cultures. The university actively fosters an inclusive environment, and I felt supported throughout my academic journey.

Of course, no institution is without its challenges. There were occasional administrative hiccups, but the staff was generally responsive in resolving any issues. Additionally, some facilities could benefit from expansion to accommodate the growing student body.

In summary, my experience at the University of the Free State was transformative. I received an outstanding education, gained practical experience, and forged lasting connections. I highly recommend UFS to anyone seeking a well-rounded and impactful university experience.
