 " I enjoy attending the University of Pretoria. It houses some of the worlds greatest minds for a great deal of  sciences and academic fields. The down-side is a general lack of security whilst walking outside of campus in areas such as Hatfield. Phone snatchings to more serious crimes such as (I only believe but can not confirm for a fact) drug rings within nightclubs etc... Besides these shortcomings of some specific criminals who unfortunately were not being warded off enough, found themselves preying on the naïve students. 

The education standards within the university are unbelievably high. 

For instance, the law school at the University of Pretoria achieved 76th best law school in the world as ranked by times. There are many groundbreaking projects taking place within the university which are lead by its distinguished academic staff and directors. "

 " This is a world class university! I would highly recommend studying here. The various faculties rate among the best in Africa, and the research conducted is novel.  In particular, the Marketing faculty has made improvements to the post graduate courses which allow for more real life application. "

 " It's an excellent university. I loved attending all the lectures and all the friends that were made. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help. I recommend future students to attend as their learning provides us with quality and readiness for the working life. In terms of activities, there are many that appeal to all. Our University also has a sports campus which is really cool. "

 " There was never enough time between classes to get to the next class. Everything always felt rushed as the classes were located too far apart. Labs took up too much time and I feel they were just glorified and forced study groups. I would have had much more time to do better quality work if I didn't need to attend these classes.  The food on campus was never healthy. As someone with many food allergies, I always found myself going hungry.  The campus itself had very limited relaxation spots. Almost none of them ever had any shade and all were overcrowded. "

 " Overall I had a great experience here and it has a great campus life and made many friends here. The university offers many opportunities to meet new people. Some of my lecturers weren't great or weren't very motivated but overall I was well prepared by the time I graduated and applied for a job. "
