** The University believes that diversity makes a vital contribution to creating excellence among its students.
** After all, we learn more from those who are different from us than those who are exactly like us.
** Diversity at university level also prepares students for the South African and international reality.
** Therefore, we want to create diversity-rich environments in the University’s student communities.

** In this way, we acknowledge that students are diverse in many respects (not only in terms of ethnicity), which needs to be reflected in the composition of our student communities
** With this as a point of departure, the University works according to specific placement categories, as determined in the residence placement policy and the management guidelines.
** Read more in the pamphlet on first year residence application and placement.

Please take note of the following :
** The University annually receives more than 8 000 applications for approximately 2000 available places for first years in residence.
** Place in residence is therefore limited and subject to a selection process.
** This is why we cannot guarantee that you will receive place in your residence or a place in a residence of choice

** We aim to promote diversity and to have an even spread of students from diverse backgrounds across all our residences.
** Therefore, we follow the guidelines in our residence placement policy and will unfortunately be unable to consider any transfers to other residences.

Residence facilities :
** Each room has a network point for connecting your own computer to the University’s network, electronic information resources, the Internet and web-based e-learning tools.
** Laundry facilities

** A common “living room” area for socialising, watching TV or just “hanging out”
** All the women’s residences, and some of the men’s, also have a communal and/or private lounge area where visitors can be received and entertained.
** Most of the residences boast lovely courtyards and/or gardens for play and relaxation.
