First year uni in a different province

My experience as a first year at University of Johannesburg was good and also bad at the same time.The bad side of the experience had nothing to do with the services at uni the bad side was because I was not familiar with the province and as a learner with anxiety it was hard for me to blend in and make friends quickly but with the help of the university service they provide to their students the experience became much better they offer therapy for students, there's also stuff that helps first comers get to know their surroundings in the uni premises,they offer mentorship to students which most likely help students have someone olderish to communicate to if you are one of the students struggling to make friends. The Programs initiate group discussion and participation during the lectures which help quiet students communicate with other learners in class and start to form study groups with them.So I would say those services are good to helping students like me and I would definitely recommend my university to someone else.

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

Good

I can complain about the college . I did enjoyed but the need to improve there and there but hey it’s a good school. Highly recommended. You can do online , distance and face to face class. But face to face are the best
