Private and Shared Apartments are More Affordable Than You Think
Private and shared apartments for students in Pretoria: More affordable than you think?
If you’re studying in Pretoria in 2021, you face challenges specific to urban campuses.
Student accommodation in university towns is naturally plentiful. There is a wide range of living options, from dorms to digs to private apartments.
By contrast, in Pretoria, once you’re no longer on campus, you’re just another face in the crowd.
Previously, students in big cities didn’t have many great choices. Messy house shares or dilapidated apartment blocks far from campus.
Any student looking for off-campus accommodation would be hard-pressed to find quality urban apartments that offer modern conveniences of comfortable urban living but are also priced for the student budget.
Fortunately, dedicated student accommodation has been designed especially for the needs of city students.
As a city with a strong student culture, Pretoria has seen a number of these developments. They can be a great way to live in a comfortable, modern apartment without breaking the bank.
However, not all student accommodation is going to be right for you.
Here are some things to consider choosing an apartment in Pretoria.
Shared room or private apartment?
Quality student accommodation should offer a range of room options to suit your tastes and your budget.
If you value privacy, you’ll probably find that bachelor apartments for students are more competitively priced than you may have expected.
It’s a great option if you want your own space, but you don’t want to be isolated from your fellow students.
On the other side of the spectrum, a shared bedroom can be a more affordable option. Sharing a bedroom may seem unusual at first, but you still get more comfort, privacy and security than you would in a dorm room on campus. For many students, it’s the best of both worlds.
Furnished or unfurnished apartments?
The choice between a furnished and unfurnished apartment will also affect the cost of your stay – but sometimes in less-than-obvious ways. Rent on an unfurnished apartment will tend to be cheaper.
On the other hand, fully furnished apartments for students come with everything you need for a comfortable and productive stay. You may find you end up spending less on buying additional furniture and accessories.
What’s included in the price?
Don’t take the rental price at face value.
- Are there other costs involved?
- Do you pay for water?
- Is WiFi included?
- Is the building well-maintained?
There’s no point choosing a reduced rent somewhere where you have to spend a fortune more installing fibre or paying for frequent repairs. As a student, you have more important things to think about.
