An incredibly unique location
by: Autumn Derstine - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Cape Town, South AfricaCape Town, South Africa is a stunning city. White sand beaches contrasted with tall mountains create an adventurers dream, and University of Cape Town's campus is the most beautiful I've seen. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my study abroad.
I had the time of my life!
by: Lucas Lindsley - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Cape Town, South AfricaOne of the greatest experiences I have ever had. Nothing like getting to live in a different country for 6 months and really immerse yourself in another country and culture. Being able to become close to others with no previous connection is truly something that you have to do!
An Amazing Experience
by: Finn Hubbard - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Cape Town, South AfricaI had a great time here. The housing was good, the excursions were fun and educational. The connections they had with local communities were great. I really feel that we were able to do some good. The one issue I had was that I did not like our two program coordinators, they were rude and unfair at times. I did not let them ruin my trip however!
