University of the Free State UFS Bloemfontein Campus
University of the Free State UFS Bloemfontein Campus – Check below:
The Bloemfontein Campus dates back to 1904, making our university one of the oldest higher-education institutions in the country. The Main Building, and other buildings of historic and architectural importance, portray the calm though vibrant atmosphere appropriate to an academic institution of more than 114 years old.
It is a vast campus where staff and students are encouraged to walk while enjoying the beautiful buildings, parks, lawns, artwork, and other facilities. Every effort has been made to make the campus user- and experience-friendly, including braille-guided areas for blind students, and additional ramps and elevators for students with disabilities.
