As a grade nine trying to figure out the rest of my life, this was so helpful. There’s so much stress choosing subjects rn because it basically decides my life but you just made some of that stress go away.❤️
I’m so glad this video popped up cause I was literally to the verge of crying cause I didn’t know where to get the best student accommodation but now I do ☺️ thank you
Hi Anelisa so I got accepted to study at UCT and I made the mistake of not applying for student accommodation and I currently live in Johannesburg, I don't know what to do
Since first semester will be online, I think it will be easier for you to try & get residence. Email Student Housing very FREQUENTLY to see if there’s any space in res - they usually prioritize res for first years. If there is space, they will usually place you somewhere. Space avails itself because some people who got res may decline their offers because they’re going to a different varsity etc etc, things like that.
Hey, I’m actually not entirely sure... Some off campus accommodation is NSFAS accredited though - I’m just not sure about other bursaries/scholarships.
Fountain Rez is a 10-15 minute walk to Lower Campus (which is where most of the Jammies Stop). But after 6pm there is a residence loop Jammie that is literally about a minute walk from Fountain Rez, it’s called the GSR stop, but that’s only after 6pm as mentioned before, and on weekends so on weekdays before 6pm you’ll have to walk to Lower. Main Road is relatively safe to walk as it is a busy road, just not when it gets dark.
Roscommon itself I’m sure is pretty safe because there’s biometric access. Outside, it’s situated on Main Road & one thing about Main Road, it’s always a bit dodgy when it gets dark lol. But I’m sure you have nothing to worry about as the Jammie stops directly outside the building for you (assuming you’re a UCT student). All in all, I’d give it a good 8/10 for safety?
Hello Anelisa, is it possible for me to get a res where I'm going to live alone even on my first year or does the bursary require me to live in a res where I will have to share
Hey there, By “live alone” do you mean have your own room? If so, there are a few residences where first years have their own rooms, such as the one I lived in back in first year. But with most residences at UCT unfortunately, first years have to share so you’ll be lucky if placed in a residence where you don’t have to share in first year...so to answer your question, it is very much possible to be placed in a res where you get your own room instead of sharing. In terms of your bursary, that depends on your bursary agreement because shared rooms are cheaper than single rooms, but the price difference isn’t thaaat huge, just a couple of thousands so bursaries tend to pay for residence fees regardless of your room being shared or single because the price range isn’t that far apart as mentioned before. However, you should definitely double check with your bursars though to be sure, as they may want you to go for the cheaper option...but from my knowledge, most bursaries & NSFAS as well pay for any type of room, as long as it’s a school residence 🤍
Hey, Nest in itself I think is quite nice. My only problem with it is the location. Mowbray isn’t safe at allll, like under any circumstances. But conveniently, Nest is a few blocks away from Liesbeeck (a UCT residence) so you can negotiate with the bus driver to stop near Nest for you but not all of the drivers are nice people...so if the driver that day refuses, you’ll have to walk from Liesbeeck to Nest, vice versa. It isn’t far in minutes, definitely less than 5 mins if you’re walking, but you don’t want to be caught slipping with your belongings in the crux of Mowbray...& walking to campus isn’t an option either because you have to cross one of the dodgiest bridges ever lmao, so that’s a big no. To summarize my whole schpeel, my main issue with Nest is the location for reasons mentioned above. If you have no other option, you should go for it. Or if you don’t mind literally fast walking to the Jammie stop at Liesbeeck everyday, then go for it. But if you can find a place that has safer surroundings, rather go for that.

Could you please look into recording a video on stellies private accommodation?
I’m not well acquainted with Stellenbosch -so I don’t think I’d be able to execute a good enough video girl 🤍
@@AnelisaZungu okay sis totally understandable, thank you ❤️
I've seen that off campus accommodation is very expensive. It can be anything from R6000 to R10 000. Do bursaries usually cover for those?
Hey,
I’m actually not entirely sure... Some off campus accommodation is NSFAS accredited though - I’m just not sure about other bursaries/scholarships.
@@AnelisaZungu Thank you for your help.
Is Rochester the best for Medicine students?
Yes. Roch, Clarinus Village & Med-res are the best for Medicine students.
Thank you.
Is fountain res far from the jammie stop and is the main road safe to walk?

I had to subscribe after this video
Thank you so much for this!! How safe would you say Roscommon is?

Do you know any Nsfas accredited student accommodation??
Sorry - no...But you should contact NSFAS for a list to be safe :)
@@AnelisaZungu thank you sm ❤️
Do you have like a specific tag for the jammies or you pay cash?
You don’t pay on Jammies...just always carry your student card to show you’re a UCT student :)
@@AnelisaZungu okay thank you sm
Is Observatory that far?
In terms of walking, yes. In terms of driving, not really. But it depends which part of Observatory, of course.
Hey do you know of a place called the roost?
No I don’t - sorry!
@@AnelisaZungu painnnn , thanks :)
