Cape Town
Cape Town Highlights
“The Cape region is an incredible place to study and learn because virtually everywhere you go, the apartheid legacy is fresh and mixed with ongoing social, cultural, and political struggles. Whether your classes focus on local history, social injustices in urban planning, or Xhosa language, it is all surrounding you in daily Cape Town life.”
Student Profile - Lilia Chang
“Being abroad forces you to take classes normally not in your catalog. I chose to take a class in Xhosa, one of the eleven officially recognized languages in South Africa and the most dominant black ethnic language. Although it was just two units, it allowed me to converse with Uber drivers and students of mine -- being a little bit conversational in another's native language can take you a long way.”
