TUKKIES!!
I am a student at \'Tukkies\', this is what we call our university. Its a beautiful place and we have an international accreditation. Beautiful campus and top academic standards.
I am studying architecture here currently, and we are RIBA accredited which is the Royal Institute of British Architects. We have a very useful library, which I love to get lost in, especially in our archives [our underground book cellar containing books from before 1900\'s].
Tukkies learning system is very current and up to date with what is happening in the world, although we need to get more international exchange programmes running through our varsity.
As an architecture student we deal largely with designing contemporary architecture to deal with the problems such as global warming, copy paste architecture, and consumerism.
Sports wise, we have an entire campus dedicated to this, LC De Villiers campus, outfitted with a stunning climbing wall, olympic swimming pool, squash courts, astro turf, rugby and soccer fields, and a High Performance Sports training facility.
In our country, Tuks is the best university to go to, but it can still get so much better, and thats what makes us great, we are waiting to learn and never stop learning.
Tuks de Niks! [afrikaans, a secondary language spoken in South Africa, meaning Tuks of Nothing else].
