Day 3 - July 18, 2016
What I know: Visiting a college campus is very much the same in South Africa as it is in the United States. The energy levels are high and the passion for life is contagious. The students at NMMU are more politically active then students back home and will readily participate in protested for causes they believe in. Most of the people we talked to were amazed at the cost of higher education in the U.S. however even though the tuition is cheaper here there are other struggles such as transportation to and from school because housing is very limited, cost of textbooks, and inability to access technology.

What we did: We toured NMMU and the township of Port Elizabeth (P.E.)
What I think: A good cross cultural lesson to use in the fourth grade study on North Carolina history would be to compare Fort Fredrick and Fort Macon. Pictures and wedsite links are included below.
