Accommodations
Students arriving early or staying after the program will need to make their own housing arrangements.
UC Davis may have to change the accommodation location and type. Should this be necessary, we will arrange alternative lodging. Please note that elevators, air conditioners, WiFi and other conveniences may not be available in all locations.
Accommodations for your program may include same-gender or mixed-gender housing and rooms may be shared with one or more students. You may request a roommate, and we will do our best to consider mutual requests when making housing assignments and/or sharing them with our program partners. However, please note that roommate requests cannot be guaranteed, as housing arrangements depend on availability and local accommodations.
Meals
Breakfast will be provided at the residence. Lunch and dinner are on your own. A few of the full-day field trips will include lunch.

Get to Know Your Destination
Johannesburg
Commonly called “Joburg” or “the City of Gold”, Johannesburg is the capital of the Gauteng province and is the most populated city in South Africa. Home to major anti-apartheid leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, the city now includes several museums meant to remember South African political history. Lonely Planet - Johannesburg
Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk
Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible. However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.
