Student Housing Options for 2025 


We will cover the 3 main types of student accommodation that is available as well as beneficial budgeting tips and smart choices to make your student experience for 2025 one to remember. 

Student Housing Options 2025

    Key Options:

  • Purpose-built accommodations: Designed for students with study areas and communal spaces. These types of accommodations are usually found as 1 bedroom or 2 bedroom apartments, single room option and sharing room option in student houses. The communal and social areas are usually shared spaces with your own private room or own space in your room if you are sharing. Sharing is only 2 students per room. 

  • Suburbs: Universitas, Willows, and Brandwag offer affordable options with essential amenities to help you navigate your student life with shops and community parks near by. These suburbs are also the better options for students that want to be near University of the Free State or Central University of Technology. 

    Budgeting Tips:

  • Factor in rent, utilities, and commuting costs. If your student accommodation does not include water, electricity, wifi, cleaning services and gardening then it is important to clarify what you will need to cover and what is the expected cost of each item to make sure you have a financially stress free student experience. It is best to ask around and get more information on what the expenses are expected to be so you don't get any surprises. 

  • Look for housing that includes services like cleaning, Wi-Fi, and shuttle services. At Let It Student Accommodation we include Wi-Fi, shuttle services for students that are living further from campus, cleaning services, gardening and most amenities, depending on which accommodation option you selected. 

Smart Choices:

  • Purpose-built accommodations enhance community and academic success. It is easier to be motivated by your environment to study harder and to find like-minded students who also want to improve their careers. By being closer to campus you also eliminate the problem of transport costs and safety.
