Someone who wants a different culture experience, especially one in an English speaking country. I really have only positive things to say about my abroad experience. Cape Town is incredible, and South Africa and Africa in general blew me away. I would recommend going to UCT and InterStudy to almost anyone.

Awesome Time: Terrible Housing

Lack of safety in the housing in 2008. Hopefully much improved by now. The location was good, however the housing I received was subpar and was not officially "ready" for inhabitants when we got there. The program staff was helpful as much as they could be, but they were a bit too small in number when we really needed action taken.

Cape Town is amazing though, and despite the grievances I had an awesome time. Go CIEE.
