First Week of Classes: DONE
This week I started classes at the illustrious University of Cape Town (UCT), and I must say…I’m actually pretty excited for the semester! I’m taking four courses: one at the IES Abroad Center, and three at UCT.
My Trip to the Oldest Township in South Africa!
I’ve been in South Africa for approximately two weeks now, and it has been quite an experience! My original flight got canceled TWICE, so I ended up arriving a day later than my peers. However, I arrived JUST in time for orientation – literally, I got off the plane, went straight to my studio apartment (yes, I am currently living my best life), and went to orientation.
Liberation is in the Air!
I am Ameer Dunston, a junior finance major and television & film minor at the illustrious Howard University from Buffalo, NY. Again, thank you for choosing to follow along with my blog as I write about the lifechanging experiences I will encounter while studying abroad!
