welcome
res to the caf. You’ll find a printed,
foldable map in these pages that
will help you navigate on campus.
You can also view them online
at www.uct.ac.za/main/contacts/
campus-maps. And, if you’re
wondering about how you’re going
to get from A to B, take a look
at page 10 for a whole bunch of
options.
Don’t be shy when it comes to
asking your OL (OL? Check the
lingo cheat sheet!) questions. They
will take you through the basics,
like what a faculty is and where
to sign up for tuts, but if you have
other questions don’t hesitate to
ask – make them work for their
money. For other essentials, like
where to find free WiFi and good
food at fair prices, turn to page 24
and 48, and page 16 for info on how
to use your shiny new student card
to best advantage.
Once you’ve read up on how to
get a library card (it’s the right
thing to do) on page 42 and how
to get help with writing essays on
page 53, it’s time to think about
heading to the Jammie plaza to
sign up for as many (or few) sports
clubs, societies, political groups and
leadership bodies as you like.
Of course you’re here to study, but
you also have a once-in-a-lifetime
chance to indulge your passions
while also meeting interesting new
people.
So, this is it. Good luck! And take
it from us, the best is yet to come.
