The vibe you want

and the peace you need

We’re not going to pretend that student life isn’t intense. There’s a lot going on – and sometimes you just need to escape the buzz. 

Putting in the hours is important, and our computer lab and study areas are the ideal spaces for getting the graft done. And for those moments when you need to tap out and just be,  we’ve got that on lockdown with our hanging pods and chill-out zones.

Bussing all the way.

We’re on route.

We have bus routes to all major campuses, these include:

UJ Auckland Park Kingsway

UJ Auckland Park Bunting Road

UJ Doornfontein Campus

University of Witwatersrand

Managed to the max

It’s the feeling of safety and security that makes home feel like home.

Each residence has an in-house management team to provide rapid response to emergencies and maintenance logs, while our live-in building managers are available at any hour to take care of issues. What’s more, your social and academic concerns are taken care of by a student house committee that oversee things like sports and community engagement. We’ve got your back.

Welcome home

Our spaces have been created just for you.

All rooms are fitted with appliances and furniture, from kettles and microwaves to desks, saving you money and making sure you move into an instant home. Not forgetting our free Wi-Fi, of course. 
Our residences are located close to campus, and our shuttles make your daily commute even easier.
