Stellenbosch – what is not to love? What better way to experience it than from the perspective of someone else? There are a few content creators making the rounds in Stellenbosch and conjuring interesting information to give you a peek into the lives of Stellenbosch-ers. Whether fashion, active citizenship, food inspo, or more PG content is your vibe, we have you covered with these four interesting Instagram pages.
Stellies Styles
@stellies_styles is an Instagram page dedicated to the fashion choices of Stellenbosch University students on campus. They share reels of candid videos in different locations surrounding the Neelsie Student Centre. Some famous spots featured on the page include the library stairs and the area outside of Jan Mouton. The fashion shown is definitely on the more eclectic side and an inspiration for any student to pull up their socks when it comes to outfits!
Citizen Carli
@citizencarli is a personal Instagram dedicated to showing the life of Carli as an active citizen in Stellenbosch. This is a good page to stay in the know with the more political side of Stellenbosch due to Carli’s affiliation with the DA political party. Even if your political views do not align, Carli is an inspiration and a source of information on being an active citizen within the Stellenbosch community, especially through advertising events and opportunities to do so.
Overheard in Stellies
@overheardinstellies exposes the random dialogue on the Stellenbosch University campus. See this as a glimpse into the mind of a student – for better or worse. This page can be prime entertainment but beware that the content can be explicit due to its candid nature. You would be surprised to know the diversity of campus experience yet find yourself relating relentlessly – sometimes!
Kos Vraat
@kosvraat is the place to go for restaurant and recipe inspiration (in Afrikaans). Here you can find fun reviews – like the best iced coffee or ice cream spots in Stellenbosch and Cape Town. The food is captured aesthetically in post, reel, or story format. Beware, it is not for the faint of heart, so do not scroll when you are hungry!
