questions regarding Cape Town and UCT

[Tin72]

Hi, guys, I have been accepted at UCT　for civil engineering for this year. Haven't been to Cape Town for my entire life. :wtf: I would like to know what kind of life I will experience over there and any tips to live there comfortably.

What items must be in my luggage and how is the life at UCT.

Your feedbacks will be highly appreciated.

First of all, where are you from so that we can make a fair comparison.

You should know your uni fees and accommodation costs then.

Only thing left is textbooks and food. For transport as a student you can use the Jammie Shuttle for free.

Should I choose single or double room?

Should I choose single or double room?

You're either gonna hate your roommate or become best friends. I say go double for the experience.
