What to Expect in Your First Year at Eduvos.

Post by Eduvos, February 16, 2026.

Starting your higher education journey is an important and exciting milestone. Your first year is about more than lectures and assignments. It is where you grow in confidence, discover new interests, meet people who shape your journey, and take meaningful steps towards your future.


Getting to Know Your Campus

Your campus quickly becomes your second home. It is where you learn, collaborate, and build lasting memories. During your first few weeks, take time to explore and get familiar with the spaces around you.

Resource Centres
These spaces are fully equipped with academic resources, study areas, and friendly support staff who are always ready to help you succeed. Visit your campus resource centre to find out more about how to make the most of these spaces.

Social Spaces
From student lounges and cafeterias to outdoor areas, these are perfect for relaxing between classes, studying with friends, or meeting new people.

Online Spaces for Our Online Students
Your Eduvos experience extends beyond the campus, no matter where you are. Our online learning platforms give you access to lectures, resources, discussion forums, and virtual events, so you can connect with your peers and engage with your studies from anywhere. Support, community, and opportunities to get involved are always just a click away.


Getting Involved in Campus Life

Student life at Eduvos goes far beyond the lecture halls. Getting involved early helps you feel connected and makes your experience more rewarding.

Sports and Esports
Whether you enjoy competitive sports, casual games, or esports, there are opportunities to get active, have fun, and represent your campus and social house.

Social Houses
Social Houses are at the heart of campus spirit. They bring students together through friendly competition, social events, and community initiatives, helping you build connections and a sense of belonging.

Clubs and Societies
From cultural and creative interests to academic and social clubs, there is something for everyone, and plenty of space to explore something new.

Campus Events
Throughout the year, Eduvos hosts in-person and online socials, workshops, and career-focused events that help you grow personally and professionally. Even if you attend alone, taking that step often leads to new friendships and opportunities.


Support When You Need It

Starting something new can feel overwhelming, and that is okay. Eduvos offers a range of student support services to help you stay balanced and supported.

Health and Wellness
Eduvos students enjoy discounts when joining Virgin Active, supporting a healthy and active lifestyle while you study. Staying active can help you manage stress, boost energy levels, and maintain balance throughout the year.

Mental Health Support
Through our partnership with the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG), students have access to confidential mental health support when you need it.

Employability Support
From CV building and interview preparation to internships and career guidance, our employability centre will help you prepare for life after graduation.


Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone

It is natural to feel unsure at first, but growth often happens just outside your comfort zone. Simple actions can make a big difference.

  • Say hello to someone in your class
  • Attend a campus or online event, even if you go on your own
  • Try a new activity or join a club you are curious about

With time, you will find your rhythm, grow in confidence, and start to feel right at home.


Finding Your Balance

A great student experience is about balance. It is about working hard while still enjoying the journey.

  • Stay organised and keep track of your deadlines
  • Look after yourself by getting enough rest and staying active
  • Make the most of every opportunity to learn, grow, and connect
