“Life as a UNISA student”
Melissa M
South Africa, Undergraduate
Medical Sciences, 2022
Overall
The University of South Africa is a distance learning institution that offers a wide range of courses.

Pros
Since it is long distance, you can have a job on the side whilst working
Cons
Communication from the university is lacking. You don't get to see the lecturers therefore the only way to communicate with them is through email.

South Africa, Undergraduate
, 2018
Overall
This Uni is a piece of shit. I can't believe so many good ratings were given on this site, leads me to believe its fake. UNISA is a goddamn curse. I would think twice about sending my worst enemy there.
