Walter Sisulu University's applications has just opened and after you're finished with your application, you're going to need to plan everything else that goes along with that. One of those things is where you're going to stay. 

Residences

Residences are at the following locations:

  • Nelson Mandela Drive Site, Mthatha
  • Zamukulungisa Site, Mthatha
  • Ibika Site, Butterworth Campus
  • Potsdam Site, Buffalo City

On first year student accommodation arrangements, WSU states:

  • Eighty percent of first year students in self-catering and in catering residences are accommodated in double rooms. If you wish to share with a friend who has been accepted in the same residence, you may put your request to the residence officer of the allocated residence.
  • You can only do this once you have both been accepted into the same residence.
  • If you or your room mate decide that you prefer to share a room with someone else in the same residence, talk to your residence officer who will, where possible, make arrangements suitable for all who are involved.
  • Room changes are allowed after the third week of the term to allow settling in and to help avoid confusion in the room allocation process. 

You can now check your allocation status for residence by clicking on this link: http://students.wsu.ac.za/ras/studentlogin.php
 

Off Campus Accommodation 

    Digs Connect is also a good avenue for students to take when they are searching for accommodation. They make finding accommodation easier for students as their website is tailored for students. Read our article on DigsConnect here to get more information.
