  <description>&lt;p&gt;Stellenbosch University serves higher education in South Africa by delivering high quality teaching, research and community service. Stellenbosch is not simply a town of dignified historic buildings and tree-lined avenues. It is also a modern town, a bustling center for commerce, agriculture and education with the campus as an integral part. It is 12 miles from beautiful beaches and 34 miles from Cape Town. The active nature-lover can enjoy the hiking trails in the surrounding mountain ranges or even a walk in the nature reserve in the town. The University offers classes in Afrikaans and English, reflecting the needs and interests of an increasingly diverse student body.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
