Hi rkjay216, welcome on Expat-blog!

In which university of South Africa will you study?

Hi

Depending which study you look at, the top Universities in South Africa are:

1) University of Cape Town
2) University of Pretoria
3) University of Stellenbosch
4) University of the Witwatersrand
5) University of KwaZulu-Natal
6) Rhodes University

Registration usually is between November-January, with Lecutres starting beginning of February.

Best is however to contact the institutions, and confirm.

I was accepted to University of Cape Town as an undergrad, and, once I got the hang of the [very different] procedures, was pretty impressed with the process.  Ultimately, I was accepted into a baby-Ivy here in the States, and so opted to do my undergrad here.  However, come next Spring, I will be applying to the Grad program at UCT. 

I looked into a number of universities, and after deciding I definitely wanted to live in the Cape Town area, UCT was really the best option.  I should also mention I am a politics major here in the U.S.

What do you want to study? For medicine I suggest Medunsa or Wits. Politics UCT and for business and accounting UJ.
