    BADMIN EXTENDED

    The UFS is a dynamic and academically excellent institution. It comprises a multiracial and multilingual student population. It is a wonderful experience to study in the institution.
    What stood out is the campus vibe, historic buildings, nice lecturers who are willing to go the extra mile to help student to succeed.
    The extended programme was a wonderful programme that helped me to prepare for the mainstream studies. This was an exceptional programme for me and my success.

    Diversity

    I like the diversity it has; you meet people from different backgrounds and get to form a community with them. The institution has various cultural and social groups to choose from. It is also easy to make friends, especially in class. The campus life is amazing! Every quarter we have an event taking place. Here, you get to appreciate having time of academics and during exam time, help is always available, from tutors to lecturers.

    Overall experience about being a student in UFS

    I would recommend my university which is UFS Qwaqwa campus, it has a very clean and welcoming environment. The lectures are very consistent and are they care about students progress. The classes are alway clean and there’s enough space to accommodate everyone. What u hate about my university is that the exam rooms are very cold. I also don’t like the fact that there’s always students protests
