It was really an adventurous experience for me.

It is a friendly learning environment for students to enjoy learning and socialize, make friends and interact with people from diverse ethnicities and nationalities. Therefore, I recommend this University to people seeking a good university to study.

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.
