    I love all your uni videos. They really do help with getting a small taste of what uni will be like, especially at Stellies. Thank you for speaking on the culture shock and micro-aggressions you experienced, not many people talk about that when I ask them about it. Thank you! ❤️

    Thanks so much Nothile for your videos esp this one🙌🏻 I can't tell you how informative it's been.
    So anyways I've got a question, how long does it usually take to know whether or not you got into res after signing the student contract?

    • @prolozaloser4461
      @prolozaloser4461 Před rokem

      May be late but those are dealt separately. So if you have queries or feel uneasy, always call reception and always have your student no. or application no. ready so they can assist you sufficiently. Emailing is an option but they take longer

    Hy how is the racism at stellenbosch uni

    • @NothileM
      @NothileM  Před 3 lety +13

      Looking at our current leadership at the university...the racial tension is simmering because people of colour are getting into leadership positions and we love to see it!
      With that in mind...inclusivity seems like one of the university’s priorities because they even have bursaries specifically for people of colour as a way to recruit more black and brown people.
      I have experienced some racism though and micro aggressions but they weren’t from university staff or the university as the institution...it was from a student but the residence leaders made sure to deal with it and educate them on the world we are living in.
      You’ll meet a lot of white afrikaans kids who aren’t used to being around black and brown people and you’ll see it. But it honestly doesn’t bother me because they’re not in my circle and they don’t affect me in any way regardingto getting my education because Stellenbosch the university doesn’t care what colour I am. I am a Stellenbosch Student and that’s the only thing that matters to the university. So I get the best education in this country ❤️
