Hello Travelers–or hopeful travelers! If you’re looking for a wonderful place to go that’s not on the beaten track, Cape Town should be at the top of your list of possibilities! After a good week there, checking out the university and the city, I can guarantee you that it’s a place you would never regret going to. It’s a beautiful, amazing city – with a top-flight research university that’s perched half way up a mountain. Spectacular views from the campus, over the city, to the Atlantic Ocean on one side, and toward False Bay and the Indian Ocean on the other. Check out some of the photos I took on my trip:
Through the CIEE program there, which is Penn State approved, you can enroll in just about anything in the Liberal Arts disciplines, and all classes are in English. CIEE can put you up in either residential houses with other American students; or in the dorms–a little more basic but you are much more likely to feel integrated with South Africans themselves.
I talked to four Penn State students there, who were loving every minute of their time – and I filmed them! So don’t believe me, believe them:

I’m happy to hear from anyone who’s interested in studying in Cape Town! I didn’t want to come home … (especially because it was summer–blue sky, 85 degrees!)
