Kovsie Advice

The mid-year exams are creeping closer. That means endless hours – or that is what it feels like – of studying, and coffee by the dozens. You are not alone; the academic advising team from the Centre for Teaching and Learning has created a Kovsie Advice to help you during the dark times. 

This edition of Kovsie Advice will help you keep your eye on the prize during this upcoming mid-year exam. 

You can find tips on how to prepare for the exams, how to deal with exam stress, and how to overcome failures. Also be on the lookout for faculty-specific information from your faculty’s Teaching and Learning Office. 

Be inspired to aim for more, and to realise your dreams.

Day residences bring students together 

Do you stay off-campus, in a student house, flat or with your parents?  

Why not join a day residence on campus? 

Joining a day residence will ensure that you don’t miss out on campus activities. 

Day residences at the University of the Free State function in conjunction with campus residences, except as a day residence member, you do not stay on campus. Each day residence is equipped with a gazellie, which functions as a social space, and kitchen and bathroom facilities.

As a day residence member you can take part in sport, cultural and leadership activities. There is also great social interaction as you meet a diverse group of friends.

All day residences participate in the Gateway Programme. As member of a day residence you will participate in all Gateway sessions and be guided through registration.

Your choices of day residences for women are:
  • Arista
  • Marjolein
  • Sonnedou
Your choices of day residences for men are:
  • Legatum
  • Veritas
Your choices of co-ed day residences are:
