If you can afford to I think that's a really good plan, one of the other posters mentioned the lack of support being difficult and I totally agree. Especially if you're straight out of high school.. it's hard to get into the groove of motivating yourself. That being said, I did find a lot of people willing to help on Telegram, it's not the same as having a lecturer but it's better than going at it alone. I'm studying psych too btw and there's A LOT of reading so I think having a lecturer explain the fundamentals of it at VC in your first year might be a better route. Good luck in your studies
I'll be studying at Unisa. I couldn't get approved for a student loan for varsity college so I'll be studying at Unisa (my father said he would pay for my studies at Unisa)
