UJ does not offer Medicine as per article tittle, since last time I checked - I am subject to correction tough. Even in the old RAU and TWR it was not offered, so the ‘hopeful’ prospective student was not at the right place

But it does not mean it was right for the parent to die. She dies a responsible mother, I salute her!

UJ and prospective students do not learn, unfortunately. Last year my cousin and I stood from 7am to 15h00 at Bunting Campus without anyone from university giving information that courses were full.

The SABC1 news crew was there telling RSA  about how long queues were and all.  TUT for instance put information on their varsity website about space availability.

UJ Management and its own academics and intellectual policy makers must tell 2012 matriculants and parents about strict procedure they will follow to ensure safety during registrations and applications.

Prospective student must learn to have confidence to apply early. High school teachers must aid pupils with information on higher education

Parent and siblings must help their young brothers and sisters apply early and to have confidence in themselves.
