The vast majority of our students came to the SciMathUS course at the beginning of the year without knowing a soul. This obviously added to the (already long) list of stresses that faced them at that time. But after a few weeks - especially after the camp - they seemed to already be a tight-knit group. Here are some of their opinions on the matter:
Ek was bekommerd oor vriende, maar ons almal by SciMathUS
het baie vinnig vriendskapsbande laat ontwikkel. Dimitri Benting
Die beste deel van SciMathUS tot dusver is al die vriende
wat ek gemaak het in so ‘n kort tyd. Mense wat, nes ek, dieselfde aanpassings
en problem moes – en steeds moet – oorkom. Ek is daagliks omring deur mense wat
my verstaan en saam met my ‘n droom deel. Hiervoor is ek bly. Carlynne Johnson
Academic benefits aside, I believe that SciMathUS also gives
one a chance to encounter new and fascinating people. - Ahmed Tamura
I am enjoying being around people from different places.
Through their eyes and different attitudes, I am learning more about facts of
South Africa and getting a glimpse of the different cultures. Andile Simanga
The group that I am in became like a family to me. I enjoy
that working vibe during class and how we help each other. It makes you feel at
ease knowing that you are surrounded by people that are in the same situation
as you. Lauren Ruiters
SciMathUS is my temporary family and support system. Dane Damonze
