Wits Accommodation 2024-2025

Students who require a place to stay during their studies can find one at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). There are a number of residences on campus that can accommodate students, including private student housing for undergraduates and postgraduates.
- Both first-year and second-year students can live in undergraduate residence halls. Students have access to fully furnished rooms, shared facilities like kitchens and laundry rooms, and a variety of amenities like Wi-Fi, study rooms, and social areas in the residence halls. Catering services are also provided by some residences.
Students who have completed their undergraduate studies and are pursuing postgraduate studies at Wits live in postgraduate residences. Rooms for one or two people, fully-equipped kitchens, and shared study areas are available in these residences. - Students who would like to live away from campus can find private student housing. Most of the time, these places to stay are close to the university. They have furnished rooms and shared facilities like kitchens and laundry rooms.
Students must use the university’s online accommodation portal to submit an application for on-campus housing. - Convenience is assigned in view of accessibility and need is given to understudies who are in their most memorable year of study.
- It is essential to keep in mind that students are responsible for paying for their lodging on their own because accommodation fees are not included in the university’s tuition costs. The type of accommodation chosen and the duration of the stay determine the fees for on-campus lodging.
- Due to the high demand and limited availability of accommodations, students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
- In order to ensure a smooth transition into their new living arrangements, the university also recommends that students familiarize themselves with the accommodation policies and procedures.
