Rhodes University

Rhodes University is a public research university in Makhanda (Grahamstown), South Africa's Eastern Cape Province. It is one of the province's four universities. Rhodes University was founded in 1904 and is the sixth oldest South African university still in operation, following the University of the Free State (1904), University of Witwatersrand, University of South Africa (1873) as the University of the Cape of Good Hope, Stellenbosch University and the University of Cape Town (1829). In the 2015 academic year, the university had over 8,000 students enrolled, with just over 3,600 living in 51 residences on campus and the rest (known as Oppidans) living in digs (off-campus residences) or in their own homes in town.

Despite its small size in comparison to other higher education universities in the country, Rhodes University has the highest research output per staff member. It is a very international university, with one-fifth of its students coming from countries other than South Africa. They can study in one of the university's six faculties and have access to a large number of academics, as this university has the highest academic-student ratio in the country.
