Stellenbosch<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Spectacular mountain ranges surround Stellenbosch, the university town in the winelands of the Western Cape. The elegant Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian houses that grace the oak tree-lined streets reflect the history of one of South Africa\u2019s oldest towns. Take a stroll and you\u2019ll find interesting museums, open-air coffee shops, bars and bistros and a thriving arts scene; go further afield and you can hike through vineyards, orchards and mountain ranges. The students are an integral part of the town bringing a vibrancy to Stellenbosch\u2019s otherwise tranquil and laid-back atmosphere.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Living here has been great! The flat which I stay in has a community kitchen and common room, and then 4 single rooms with their own bathrooms. The building itself is extremely secure. Stellenbosch has been more than I anticipated, and a great place to stay for international students!<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

South Africa is beautiful. We have South African students living and going to classes with us which is very cool. We had a field trip to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years…it was really interesting. Our itinerary is packed with awesome classes and excursions.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
