Student review [#74036] for Psychology
at University of South Africa - UNISA

Studying through UNISA is a unique experience in that students are likely to complete the majority of their degrees from the comfort of their homes. UNISA’s distance learning model makes it accessible to anyone with an internet connection and a device to view course content. Furthermore, it has some of the lowest fees among higher education intsitutions in South Africa, making the school even more accessible. These factors make UNISA the mega-university that it is. This has its drawbacks, however, as the incredibly high number of students has been known to cause frequent delays with university communication. Also, the prospect of working solo may not appeal to everyone and being primarily responsible for your own coursework requires a robust level of self-determination. The lack of student “camraderie” found at more conventional institutions and communication receptivess can feel quite isolating at times. That said, if you are a self-driven learner and enjoy working by yourself, UNISA represents an intriguing choice among the higher education in South Africa.
