First let me completely agree, UJ, is the only place to consider coming from the USA, the cali thing, the city, the school rep. Cant beat that.

To clarify the embassy warning, whether it exists now anymore i am not sure, but a few years back, the "student abuses" as described by my friends at UJ, was that professors were failing students on personal grudges against them which lead to rather large drama, leading to complaints to the embassy.


just one thing about syllabus; its a legal binding contract to protect students. our schedule and respective class schedules are in constant flux. which on many occasions hurt some peoples performance. its simply unethical/ unprofessional to change the program, give one day notice, and then punish the students. In my undergrad, you could look a year ahead to find out when your exams were, they never moved, so its a shock to some to deal with on the fly school.


The thing is about the silver platter. The reason that schools produce high step scores, is because yes its spoon fed, and the bar is higher; passing is 80% or so, not the 65% or sometimes 50% at PUMS. Its not like there isnt enough work to do anyway. So schools have handouts, ppt, forums, websites to provide you the tools that you pay for. Thats how UMGs get a 93% pass rate.

So yes, lets put it this way, you can either swim across the English channel, or take a fast boat. I guess you are strong for swimming, but in the end is enthalpy no?
