Thee VUT experience - would recommend
I think it is a very good university for students. What I like about it is that the lectures are very hardworking and passionate. Some of them are believers and start their sessions with prayers providing hope for the hopeless and strength for the weak. They advise us about life and what to expect if we do not work very hard. What I dislike about it can be that some processes can be delayed thus delaying school work such as registration processes for other students. I would highly recommend Vaal University of technology to other people who would want a shot at being advised about life and also school.
Culture
It's an amazing place it's able to accommodate everyone's culture and can offer assistance to anyone whom may be having difficulties financially, the stuff know what they are doing including the lectures

The Arnhem region offers parks perfect for strolling and relaxing. Discover Arnhem's fashion scene in the Modekwartier or its rich history on a city walk or the Liberation Route, which features monuments from the Battle of Arnhem. Nearby is the breathtaking Veluwezoom, ideal for walking and cycling through the beautiful heathland and past historic castles.
Student clubs
With study and student associations, you quickly get to know a fun group of people. It's enjoyable, but also very useful for finding a part-time job or a room. Additionally, they organise cool activities almost weekly, such as parties, excursions, cosy dinners, and interesting lectures. A student association focuses more on 'social' activities, while study associations are often linked to a specific field of study. In Velp/Arnhem, you can choose from a wide range of student and study associations. For example, Ambrosia: VHL’s international study association. It’s for VHL students to connect, share, network, exchange, collaborate, and communicate.
