<p>Hey. Has anyone studied abroad in South Africa, or preferabbly the University of Cape Town? Can you tell me a little about your experience? How you liked your school, the atmosphere of the city you were in, when you went, etc... Any info would be wonderful!! Right now im deciding between Edinburgh, Scotland and Cape Town, South Africa..and I just can't decide! I would also like to add that I want to go on to study something along the lines of international human rights in grad school...so SA just seems liek a great fit. ...yet Edinburgh seems to have a wonderful atmosphere and more travel friendly..</p>
<p>I will be studying abroad in South Africa this fall (though I will be at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Pietermaritzburg…other side of the country).</p>
<p>What school do you go to? You should be able to contact your Programs Abroad Office and ask them for the email addresses of students that have studied in South Africa and specifically in Cape Town – that’s the information I requested and received from my advisor at UCSD. The returnees are usually more than happy to share their experiences with anyone who would listen and probably have extremely valuable information to share that can help you make up your mind!</p>
