Tucked beneath the appropriately named Table Mountain, Cape Town is an exhilarating port city, rich in history, architecture, and cultural pursuits. The city is dominated by a towering, table-shaped mountain, set on a peninsula of soaring, rocky heights and lush valleys, where two oceans converge\u2014the Indian and the Atlantic\u2014and where immense natural beauty and the fast pace and bright lights of a great urban center come together.<\/p>\n

First established in 1998, Trinity in Cape Town provides students with the opportunity to spend the spring semester in this fascinating city while studying at a local university. South Africa is a dynamic country recovering from years of racial and class oppression. The nation’s unique history, diverse population, and varied cultures make this an extraordinary opportunity to participate and learn in a thought provoking and stimulating political environment.<\/p>\n
