“Cape Town is Beautiful”
Michaela R
France, Undergraduate
Political Science, 2020
Overall
I can think of no better place to study than in Cape Town. The city is amazing with so much to do all year round. The campus itself has everything you need. I did find it confusing for a while but you get the hang of it after a while. In a general degree for first year the courses are very full but year by year the classes get smaller.

Personal comments
The only problem is at the beginning of the semester when foreign students must choose their courses, the oganization was very messy and he took me a whole week to get agreements for 4 courses... Teachers are not always aware so we must pratically run after them to get a signature.
