South Africa - Potchefstroom
Created | Updated Apr 26, 2003
The town comes alive when the local universaty is in session. When it is holiday, the place is just like a small, normal town.
So, this is a second year students view of this wonderful town. The motto of the universaty is "for christian higher learning", and that basically just mean that the experiments and researchdone by the budding scientists is done on a Christian base.
The whole campus has got a huge student life going on, the best in South Africa. The hostells mix continually on a social and sports base. The whole student body is tightly knit, and you meet alot of other students from all walks of life every day here.
On the social side we got Bourbon Street, Midknight and Castillions as the leaders in places. Bourbon Street is the best, mixing nice music with a chill lounge. There is some nice bands playing during the week aswell. Midknight is more of a dance club thing with ridicolous low prices on drinks. The only way they make any profit is by the door charge. All drinks is just about cost-price. Castillios in a really nice bar, with pool tables, a Foosball table, one nice and comfortable atmosphere and some amazing unknown bands playing there. My favourite place to go grab a few drinks. For all the ravers: sorry, go to Johannesburg if u want that.
This is just some points on this great town, contact me if u want any more.
