Howzit! (Cape Town greeting)
My name is Arianne Ouedraogo and I study political science
and business with a pre-law concentration. I am currently studying at the
University of Cape Town in Cape Town South Africa. Being able to study here in
Cape Town has truly been an enriching experience for me thus far. Cape Town is
a lively and beautiful city that I will never get tired of!! During my time
abroad I have really been able to challenge myself to engage in experiences
that I would not dare do at home, and that has allowed me to gain both academic
and personal growth. I am excited to take everything that I am learning in Cape
Town and sharing it with other Spartans once I return to UNCG!

| There is such a variety of delicious foods in South Africa in general. This is some lamb curry I had in Johannesburg at a restaurant called Pata Pata. It was the bomb!! |

| Cape Town is characterized by beautiful views from both the mountains and the beaches. |

| Demonstrator at the UCT student and faculty forum regarding the Fees Must Fall Movement. The Fees Must Fall Movement is a student-led protest movement that has happened across South African universities since 2013. Students protest with the goals of acquiring free education, decolonization of education, and policy change regarding mental health on college campuses. UCT's student body population is very politically active and very vocal when it comes to expressing their political views. |
