Outside classroom activities
I really enjoy attending STADIO , it is a lot different to a normal public university , it is a private institution. which I love because there�s a lot less students. The lecturers have connected really well with our First year group . I love that they encourage students to step out their comfort zone with the yearly Artful hustle showcase (because I am into art as well )and Geo glam, our Geography lecturer hosts a modelling competition each year, where students are encouraged to make clothes out of recycled materials. I enjoyed my first year because it mainly encompassed student - centred learning which was fantastic, Almost everyone took part in the classroom discussions and learning. Sometimes the lectures would go on for hours and I�d get tired but that�s the college experience. I study Bachelors in Education intermediate phase, the program was enjoyable, I benefited so much from the learning in the classroom, especially in my natural science module, we took part in a lot of lab experiments and activities, which was fun. The people are really friendly, the facilities are always clean and I�m not even exaggerating, I do feel like I am in the right place . One negative thing is sometimes the communication, sometimes we struggle to get through to the university but that was only in the beginning of the year. They take a while to mark our papers and exams but it�s understandable.The food in the cafeteria is a bit expensive for students I think, but excellent service . Overall I had a good first year experience with STADIO . I would definitely Recommend attending STADIO.
The quality of teaching is very good
It is very good because I'm a long distance student,that means I'll be studying at my own pace, doing my assignment and attending classes online. It is actually good.
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.
