Abstract
What do we know about undergraduate students' experiences of university and campus life beyond the curriculum, and the role of such experiences in students??? personal development and transformation? Can any aspects of that student experience be seen as contributing to the 'public good'? This chapter offers a review of eleven years (2007???2017) of scholarly literature on students??? experiences of South African higher education 'beyond the curriculum'. This includes all those aspects of university life which are not related to learning, teaching and academic development; they include the social, economic, political and health-related aspects of the student experience and student life on campus. In this chapter, we aim to give a sense of what has been written about these elements of students??? experiences, what this work says, and also what it does not say.-
