ACCOMMODATION

We are committed to helping students find the most suitable accommodation to meet each individual’s needs. For students who live further away, Equilibria can assist with site inspections and provide practical advice and guidance to help students make informed accommodation decisions.

To assist in your search, we offer the following options:

Online Search:

Explore available accommodation options that fit your budget and preferences by using accommodation websites and social media rental groups. These platforms provide a wide range of listings tailored to your specific requirements.

Rental Agents:

Potchefstroom has a large number of experienced rental agents who can offer personalised guidance in finding suitable accommodation. If you need assistance, we can connect you with trusted agents to help you find the perfect place.

Shared Accommodation:

We can help facilitate connections between students interested in sharing accommodation. We can arrange a meet-and-greet session (either online or in person) to ensure compatibility among potential room- or flatmates.
