Are you struggling to stay ahead, bombarded by the social, health, financial, and study demands of university? Worried about your future, where to go from here, and how to get there? These are just some of the questions you may be grappling with at university.

The VUMA! Portal is your one-stop "Varsity Survival Guide" - a place where you can find advice and support, engage with students from other universities, gather information and resources, share ideas and concerns.

Initiated by FOTIM (Foundation of Tertiary Institutions of the Northern Metropolis) the VUMA! Portal is an open, free, online space, where you can explore the many issues related to your life while at university.

The VUMA! Portal welcomes the contributions of its users, so if you think you have information or resources to share, why not let other students benefit from your ideas? The many tools available on the Portal, including the use of blogs, forums, polls and groups, are aimed at encouraging you to collaborate and share.

If you have not already done so, REGISTER NOW and enrich your life at university.
