Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The university was hard for an abroad school if you take actual classes. If your taking African Dance and a bunch of electives you will be fine, but if you take classes for your major remember that UCT is in the Top 125 schools in the world. |
