University of South Australia (UNISA)

I felt that the University of South Australia supported me throughout my whole bachelors degree. 
The uni always had open lines of communication that I could utilise if I required clarification on a assignment or a topic that I was studying.
The tutors and lecturers always had time for me and I always felt comfortable reaching out to them.
The campus was always clean and the Cafe always had fresh and awsome tasting food.

I live in Brisbane, QLD - I have studied at Queensland Uni of Tech & Endeavour University. Decided to transfer units to online study for University of South australia. I think i made a mistake. I have just 1 year left, so i have to stay. I am thinking now i should've stuck with QUT and just went part time, but that would've taken me forever to finish. But for the love of god, do your research - DON'T believe it when they say they're going to support you. They make out like they give you all the support in the world - but you get NONE. You don't get slides, tutorials, lecture recordings or much of any 'teaching', you get youtube videos, links to articles and documents that OTHER people have done. I have gotten some 'lecture recordings' but it's not consistent and they go on a bit. When you are given a reading they don't give you context as to what it is you're looking for. So you end up reading a whole chapter not really understanding the basic theory, because there are no slideds!!! With assessments, the instructions are all over the place, so you have to click on multiple pages to get all the information together. You have all these little pointless portfolio sometimes, you can end up with 7 assessments, but one of them being a big essay...whatever happended to just having 2-3? With the assessment im on now, even the teachers have NO CLUE what it is saying to the point where they've said to us as an excuse "this is the first time the unit is running and we didn't make the assessment". It's really reassuring when your own lecturer can't interpret the essay instructions properly, and we've been asking for clarification constantly for 2 weeks. It's now 1 week before the due date for a 2500 word essay and i have resorted to emailing someone high up because I am worried my questions won't get answered and i will get delayed. There are others in the class that feels this way...i am pretty certain to just avoid studying online with unisa, as this is a common theme and im finding i have to teach myself so much more than i ever had to do. I should've gone with another university to do my studies.
