University of Cape Town - UCT Speciality : Civil & Structural Engineering
programme: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering

UCT is a place I feel at home. As a first year international student I thought it was going to be difficult for me to adjust to university life but this place proved me wrong. Through it’s mentorship program life becomes easier as one will have someone as a mentor. This is something that made my learning easy. Travelling around the campuses and residences is easy using UCT shuttle buses. The main campus is situated just below a mountain and this provides a beautiful view of nature.

It is an extremely beautiful University with diverse cultures, races and backgrounds. I have gained a lot of knowledge from being at the university, a lot of connections with people from parts of the world I never thought I would meet. I have loved that I was able to get my qualification while exploring my youth. I do however feel and think that they could be ways in which the university could be made more accessible to those who cannot afford.
