University of Cape Town

From a visitor's perspective, the University of Cape Town is a massive campus which gave me Aalto University vibes. The campus consists of various buildings. Some buildings are more interesting than others as they have an almost castle style architecture. The plants swallowing some buildings is an interesting touch. I don’t think students require a gym since the lengthy walk from building to building is quite a workout. Set-up is unique ranging from lights resembling upside down candles to a tunnel engulfed in graffiti. Campus encourages recycling and possesses several dustbins. Prestine environment probably cause of all the dustbins. Furthermore, there are kiosks and a cafeteria. I recommend tagging a water bottle along as campus walk can become thirsty. The University of Cape Town knows how to make students comfortable and has set a high bar for what a tertiary instituition should be. They even conveniently have an on site store. Finally, the sprinkles on the ice-cream: there is a lovely view of Table Mountain.

Another excellent place of learning. State of the art learning takes place here. The student is not without all the crucial resources as well as the necessary seminars and workshops to master your ‘studenting’. Diverse culture on campus, all dedicated to the same mission, education.

Its reputation says it all. Amazing campus and great lecturers based on my experiences. Parking is an issue as there is very few parking vs staff and students. Online registration is ok but there is a few issues with it which gets ignored every year. These issues are not being addressed.

A true centre if Academic excellence, well built infrastructures and conducive learning environment.

Great University. Diverse student body with a capable faculty. Over the years they have become more conscious to issues affecting society and the student body. Some faculties need better management

The table mountain view is out of this world . I enjoy my time here . Sara Baatman Hall and everything about the University is phenomenal

Nature restoring itself after the Big burn. Bookshop has pretty good discount. Great feeling of peace and knowledge

UCT is an incredible school. Students are very well rounded, academically and many are involved in extracurriculars. The campus is absolutely beautiful. There are majors and classes for any subject. Sports are really good, and also fun to watch. Rugby games are a blast. People are very friendly, and there are many nice study and hang out spots on campus.

Ahh, UCT. I did my degree here for 3 years, and it was the best time of my life. UCT is a colonial construct however, and this has brought with it many issues, mainly those from the past. It is possibly the most beautiful campus on the planet, with Table Mountain standing behind, like some watchful ward.

My alma mater! Little did I expect during my bachelor's that I'd like the place so much that I'd do the master's too here. UCT is the oldest university in SA. And undoubtedly the finest. It is the highest in rankings and always figures in QS World University Rankings as well as TIMES HE Rankings. Scenic, located on Rhodes estate besides Devil's Peak. A full-fledged campus with all amenities for students.
