Are Private Student Apartments Affordable In Pretoria?

Not everyone thinks of Pretoria as a university town. As South Africa’s executive capital, there’s a lot going on in Tshwane other than studying.

But the city is also home to UP, TUT, Unisa and more.

Every year, students from around the country move to Pretoria to work hard, get their degrees, and hopefully have some fun while they’re at it.

Being a student is a lot of fun a lot of the time. But one thing students aren’t famous for is having lots of free cash. You’ve got to budget carefully for the essentials, like textbooks and 2-for-1 cocktails.

So the very notion of living in your own student apartment may sound as realistic as taking a rocket to Jupiter.

But here’s the good news. Because Pretoria is such an important destination for students, there’s been a boom in living spaces designed especially for students.

These have been designed to offer students the comforts they need while living away from home, but with a student budget in mind.

For example, sharing a room in a three-bedroom apartment is fun and sociable, but also offers much more privacy and comfort than a regular dorm. Plus, you have a balcony and a private bathroom.

Similarly, a private kitchen for you and your flatmates will enable you to master your cooking skills, if you need any more incentive to get away from the tasteless stew you’d get at a campus cafeteria.

How much will it cost?

Of course, it’s all well and good to talk in abstractions.

But how much does private student accommodation actually cost?

That will depend on a number of factors, including: how many bedrooms your apartment has, whether you share a room, and whether the apartment is furnished.

Consider your options carefully to balance your preferences and requirements as a student with your budget.
