Final comments
Stellenbosch University is an Afrikaans university. This means that the medium of tuition is Afrikaans and not English. For Dutch and Flemisch speaking students this is not really a problem.
Graduate courses are offered in English though, so only go if you are at graduate (that is above ba) level.
Book your trips here, that'll save you a lot of money
