Student review [#28874] for Logistics and Operations Management
at University of Johannesburg - UJ

My 3 years in undergrad could simply be described as wholesome. The faculty divisions across the 4 campuses meant most of the people you interact with are in a similar field of study. I had the privilege of taking a few classes with lectures who took the time to be personally invested in our growth, progress and future prospects. Often we would engage in conversations about how they navigated being graduates, trying to find their feet and how they followed their passions to eventually find themselves in academia.

I also particularly enjoyed the concept of student societies on campus. Culture, religion, nationality, sport or even food, there was a society for just about anything that can tickle your fancy. They were fully supported and funded by the university, ensuring every student no matter where they are from could feel at home. I was even President of one for 2 years.

I did not much like the student accommodations, however, particularly the ones on campus. They did have a beautiful sense of sisterhood and togetherness that I enjoyed, but I always felt they were severely overpriced, too small for comfort and had way too many rules considering only adults lived there.

Overall I enjoyed my UJ experience so much that I decided to do my postgraduate studies there too.
