I spent my semester abroad as a free mover at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. This country has so many faces and offers many opportunities to demonstrate social commitment, and to get to know different sides of the Rainbow Nation. Apart from the general differences in culture and society, the experiences you will gain in South Africa may change your perspective on topics like society, wealth, security, and racism. I would definitely choose South Africa again for a semester abroad and can only recommend the university as well as a semester abroad in general. Today, international experience is a must-have for many companies and you will not regret spending time abroad.
