It was an average experience. There is terrible management as students constantly strike. As well as lack of safety and security resulting in a lot of stolen laptops and phones. In addition to this there is poor hygiene as the cleansers only put toilet rolls in the bathrooms at 9 a.m. and they rarely fill the hand soap dispenser. The tuition is overpriced for the lack of resources provided to students.

As a teenager in high school, I was always passionate about science but I never seemed to reach my full potential. I made a promise to myself in matric, that I would work tirelessly to achieve good marks in order to earn a position as a science candidate at The University of KwaZulu-Natal. My hard work paid off in the end, and I gained so much more than I could ever imagine. My wonderful lecturers instilled a deep passion within me for science and learning, my universities media facilities provided me with the ability to supplement my learning and study in a peaceful environment. Furthermore, the various clubs and sporting amenities helped me grow personally, and develop meaningful relationships with my peers. Despite the political hardships faced by my university I was still able to achieve a Cum Laude pass that I am very proud of.
