My general experience in the humanities faculty was pretty good. Most lecturers and tutors are really helpful when it comes to academics and the university has quite a lot of social clubs to join. However, if your main goal after graduation is financial independence I’d suggest studying another course. This area of study is pretty niche meaning there isn’t many readily available funding or employment opportunities after undergrad as you’d find with more mainstream degrees. I do wish they told us more about that during first year. Besides that being a UCT student comes with a lot of perks that most Universities in SA don’t come with.
