    Could be better

    The institution isn’t bad, just expected more. Every views Wits as the Harvard of SA, but when you look inside the school it looks a little old…
    Mind you, it’s been here for 100 years, it’s like a bigger version of a college. But, it’s a beautiful school, just expected more..

    Architecture Wits University

    The university experience was amazing overall, the degree has taught me alot but it had it faults. For the high fees, you’d expect things to be working, you’d expect class trips to be included in the module’s fees, but that just wasnt it. We were forced to print out drawings for presentations, which could cost upwards of R600 per presentation ( usually around 3-4 per semester), clearly not accommodating people that do not come from money.

    Life changing

    Wits is one of the best universities in South Africa. I had the most rewarding experience. I enjoyed the learning experience. I studied Accounting Science. I had the best support system from my lecturers. Campus life is what stood out to me; I participated in a lot of sports and social events. We were there for each other

love their ways
The way of teaching at Swansea University in my opinion enables students to actively participate in their own education You are urged to independently investigate and study subjects in order to completely understand them rather than being given all the knowledge This method in my opinion has been really helpful [...]

It s clear the university is working hard to become more international though there s still room to grow things like lecture prep and some teachers English could definitely be stronger On the bright side there s no shortage of activities outside class Whether you re into sports cultural events [...]
