“Complete administrative incompetence”
John L
South Africa, Undergraduate
, 1998
OverallI have been trying to get my academic record from UNISA for the last six weeks, without success. I graduated in 1998 with all fees settled.
The level of sheer incompetence and ignorance I have encountered is staggering. I have been passed around to at least 5 different consultants with none of them managing to send me a simple academic record. All I have received is grammatically incorrect, mispelled emails telling me I have been sent my record when I haven't!
No wonder the university is now under administration. Good luck dealing with this institution - you'll need it!

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Honestly.. safety is an issue when staying at a campus. Flats are cheap, and so is a cleaning service! Defenetly worth getting your own spot.
