Uinversity of cape town Reviews

Offers everything entertaining or interesting that exists

Great place to meet new people, there are a couple of hidden spots and gems to find all around campus.

Lovely place, clearly lots of European culture-architecture and setup. Peaceful and breathtaking. Open to the public one should feel free to tour and enjoy the birds, humans and squirrels.Photography is highly welcome.

It s a nice university except sometimes if you eat outside, some birds will attack you and even take some of your food. Other than that, it s alright.

This place is filled with some amazing buildings. Surrounded by nature at the foot of table mountain. Had so much fun just strolling around the university. There is so much to see, just amazing art and some awesome views. Definitely worth the walk that i took. You could even take a walk from here up to Rhodes memorial and then hike up the mountain. There is enough parking and lots of spot to hang out with friends. I went there to go and shoot some epic videos. Had a good time.

Liked the place, good view of the city, clean, good environment for students

A world class in institution of higher learning, one of South Africa's best. Diverse cultures, traditions and nations all meet in the same space. It has gone through a polotical strain but it does not negate the fact that it offers a great service with regards to education, leadership and creating a platform for great advances in society as a whole.

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.

I often visit the place for the view. Great tracks to go mountain biking and such.

Great weather, you get to meet different kind of people

Father of antinatalism, David Benatar, teaches philosophy here

Historical university and best education is offered here.

I would like to thank the Humanities Department of Education for giving me an opportunity to study my PGCE in 2018.

You ll never have to worry about leg when you re a UCT student. Great picturesque views and quality education. Watch out for the birds :D

Old buildings and new. Greenery. Fabulous views. Good vibes.

What a beautiful campus, with loads of activities and sports to participate in. Libraries are dedicated to fields of study, and computer resources are plenty. Lecturers are experts and the whole experience is just amazing.

It's a great campus in so many ways. The teaching and research here are the best on the continent. Plus, the views are great in any direction.

The university is highly overrated. The residences are terrible and decaying. It is dropping in international rankings by the year. It is located in an unsafe area and little is done to protect students

UCT is amazingly diverse and cutting edge . The university offers state of the art facilities and is the most beautiful campus in africa , if not the world . AWESOME VIBE .

RSA's best university and ranked 120 in the world :)

Caused many all nighters, taking its toll on my mental health and making me question my purpose as a whole. 5/5 authentic university experience

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

Dear sir, how can you register with me and I am very thankful for your response to me

A beautiful campus and great learning atmosphere. A world-class institution.

Definitely lives up to its high standard and is only getting better with time. Beautiful campus overlooking cape town.

Rated as the best University in the continent of Africa, this is a place to be if you want to study.
*World class facilities.
*Friendly and approachable lecturers.
*More than hundreds of societies to and students movement to be part of. Whether you're into religion, politics, nature, art, etc. There's all.
*They offer best student support and wellness services.
*Well it's one of the most if not the most diverse institution. This is literally a place where all cultures, traditions, races, philosophies...converge.

All you need to do is to not forget the primary goal of why you're here. Then you'll definitely enjoy the greatness of UCT.

The only flaw is I've seen MOST beautiful campuses in the country, but UCT is not one of them... It's still beautiful though.

This is the most organised university I have ever been to before

As a tourist it was well worth the visit, surrounded by table mountain and forest, you can have a wonderful walk. Only down side is the racial graffiti spiralled across war memorials.

Second best to stellenbosch university

Dull vibe
And parking sucks

I was a grad student, in the Faculty of Science, between 2011 and 2017. I had one of the most rewarding and fulfilling academic experiences during my long stay here. I am glad I chose to move to The UCT for my postgraduate studies. A few things that stood out for me: (1) Racially and culturally diverse student and staff population (2) World-class educational environment and infrastructure (3) Beautiful campus.

PS: Rent a Jammie Bike and cycle to/from campus, if you wish to have a more positive experience---I know I did :)

Great facility and well resourced.
Costs are very high making it inaccessible for an average south african midclass family.

I'm currently studying at UCT and it has a very hospitable and friendly environment. Only positive vibes

Beautiful campus and rated best in Africa. Possibly one of the few independent and excellent universities left in South Africa...

Great university with a beautiful history and beautiful old buildings. Loads of old heritage.
Do take sometime to learn about the history of this university and then go for a scroll around it. The upper parts of forestry behind the university is really beautiful in one can get lost in the beauty of the mountain slopes.

Studied here years ago. Good vibes, you learn things, the pigeons are savages.

Great heritage walk available. Historical landmarks to visit.

I want to register at the University of Cape Town
But how the recording method

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.

Magnificent historic University. Had the privilege of walking all around the campus a month ago and was overwhelmed by the old buildings. Must be so awesome to be able to assist there full-time.

It's my wish to have one of my family to study there as my late brother was studying there but couldn't finish because of accident which took his life and after my father's death .He became demotivated.

Both my wife and I are alumni from UCT. The quality of education and service varies greatly from department to department but my wife has had continuous uphill struggles with the politics department in particular. They have been ridiculously unaccommodating of my wife's ongoing illness, when other departments were incredibly helpful. Despite all the appropriate medical information, the department has for the past few years made it incredibly difficult for my wife to attain her degree. They have treated her with so little humanity and respect for my wife's ongoing personal health issues, this is in the face of the fact that she works a full-time job and has been finishing her degree at the same time. The department has been very exclusionary in terms of disabilities and cultural differences. For example, in politics tutorials the tutor and some of the students engage in course work related conversations in isiXhosa which is not the official learning language of the university. When she complained about this, she was told 'this is Africa'. My wife is a South African person of colour, and are you telling me that she is expected to understand isiXhosa in order to fully access the course? We have both been appalled by the conduct of this department and its general lack of consistency.

Great vibe. It is a place in pace where diversity converges. With land scapes that a point of view.

Beautiful place with equally beautiful and kind staff aswell.

Had a great time during the last AFRES conference at the UCT. It was at the Middle Campus. Very wonderful.
