Student review [#83652] for Bachelor of Arts in Sociology
at University of Pretoria - UP

The university is good, I was there during COVID so I was mostly online for my degree and only started attending in person classes mid 2023 and finished in 2024.
I learnt alot and I was blessed with the lecturers I had at the time, they were always willing to help and made the degree and all the subjects manageable. They adjusted to online well. I learnt alot in my degree.

The student center and admin staff were helpful when I was there and it was chilled.

I would suggest this university if you wanna study.

I disliked the fact that I was a student at the university and when applying for honours in psychology they didn’t accept me even though I met the requirements, I think they only take 100 students. So they forget about you after your degree. Sometimes you just a number and I don’t know what they expect you to do after you graduate, you have to apply else where.

I didn’t spend much time on campus I went to class and then went home but the campus and facilities are nice.

The parking situation is terrible when campus is full. Depending on the time you go you might not get on campus parking or student parking but you might have to park on the street and the random car guards are always harassing you for money. I wish they would build more student parking!

Their fees aren’t that bad to study there, but I didn’t stay on campus I drove in and out.
