There is talk that people here at Wits refers to UJ as the high school next door...what truth is there in that statement?please lets debate this objectively...ill shoot from the hip-the entry requirements are not the same with UJ being more accomodating and Wits is a mission?True or false??

I got my degree at Wits n wen students failed their 1st year mostly wil go to uj. Admission requirements cn neva b the same bt that duznt make uj lesser than wits. UJ is very gud especially in technicality of engineering course n practicality of other courses. U take graduates of both wits n uj n put them in the working field n c which one wil knw hw 2get the job done fast. Every Witsie knw dat wits n theory r best friends hence i had to rely on vac work to knw my way around the accounting field especialy the auditing section. Both varsities r important in their own unique way.

Different people percieve different things differently.the fact that your school has a "Better" image than mine doesnt mean its necessarily better than mine.it also doesnt mean that your quality of education is superior to ours...
