The University of the Free State has had a rough time this year, thanks to the thugs who made those racist videos. But they’ve been given the boot, the infamous Reitz residence is no longer, and the varsity admin are trying their damndest to make everything seem rosy again. hahahaha talking about the PR of UFS, have you heard the adverts on 5fm? It's just so ironic, Don't you think ?

Despite this history of the racial tension, there are a number of things working in the University’s favour. Their faculties are renown in South Africa for having the most back ground knowledge. They offer more than 20 sports at the varsity, and there is always some form of cultural activity on the go. And if you feel like expressing your opinion then you can do so through their student newspaper and radio station.

UFS also offers a wide selection of course from their six faculties. They have campuses in Bloemfontein and QwaQwa. If you’re feeling brave, you can stay on-campus in one of their various residences, which, at least on paper, have recently been subjected to stringent transformation policies. Though don’t take my word for it. In regards to the party life Bloemies are pretty chilled and like to just chill with a beer in their hand next to the braai stand.
