Experience in School

My experience in SKEMA Business School is very much enriching. It definitely help me to shape my career aspirations which align with my personal value and even worldview. The management system in my university quite efficient and systematic. Every year, we, students are required to give personal feedback on our learning and courses for each semesters. It is very helpful as it could assist my university to improve its lacking in every aspects.

E-learning open 24/7

The e-learning center being open 24/7 really help me when wi-fi was inaccessible in my residents. This really help me to work in a quiet environment that's filled with like minded students. Highly recommend this institution!

MY EXPERIENCE AT FORTHARE UNIVERSITY

My experience at Forthare Univeristy was bittersweet. On the one hand, I was thrilled to be admitted to a tertiary institution and found the lecturers to be knowledgeable and effective in their teaching. However, I faced challenges with the university residence, which had safety concerns due to the presence of wild snakes on campus. Additionally, student protests were frequent, and the communication system was poor, which made it difficult to stay informed about important updates. Despite these challenges, I tried to focus on my studies and make the most of my time there.

Amazing

NWU helps unlock students potentials. I came here as a shy person, in less than 2 years I'm a completely different person . More confidence, I am more focused , more motivated and so much more .it's a worthwhile experience being here .

Nothing to show

Better than Most

I attended Stadio with hesitance - I had really been hoping to attend a more mainstream university like WITS or UJ - but I got all that and more with Stadio. The lecturers are the best, nothing compares to their intellect and interest in their respective fields. There are, admittedly, certain issues with admin (it may be an uncommon issue) But, like I said - excellent lecturers, great quality content to learn, and simply an overall enjoyable experience to be able to attend Stadio.

Work load

Good but you have to be ready to take on a busy academic schedule, the four quarter system, means more work spaced out in smaller time frame as opposed to a traditional semester schedule. The hybrid learning model allows you to balance school and your personal life, whilst giving you the responsibility of managing your school work
