The best advice I have is to visit as many open days at universities as possible. This hleps you get a real feel for each uni and if you think it is for you. Also you can see if you like the town or city. Try & imagine yourself living there. Ideally try and speak to as many current students at the uni's as possble too.

I am enjoying the university experience and would definiatly reccomend this uni to other people for a number of reasons I would advise new students to make friends and take advantage of the many resources avaialble to you. The new JHB builing is such a wecome edition it has provided a central meeting place.
