Greedy, deceiving, not student-focus

It's sad that this is institution allows their admission officer to lie and misinform potential students during enrollment to get working adults to enroll into full-time studies instead of part-time so they could make more profit. I enrolled into one term of online program as a working adult. Some instructors (not all) weren't supportive and were quite rude - at time quite unprofessional and disrespectful. The school's portal wasn't user-friendly. Overall, the institution and instructors were below par, quite unorganized and there was nothing to shout about. The high tuition fees definitely did not justify what you get.

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
