Are you a Walter Sisulu University student looking for comfortable and reasonably priced housing? Look nowhere else! With a variety of well-equipped residences available to suit your needs, the institution offers a setting that is conducive to both academic and personal development. In this post, we’ll explore the advantages of staying in the Walter Sisulu University dorms and explain why doing so is a wise decision.

Residences

The philosophy at the Student Residence Department is to “contribute to the holistic development of a student”, and at student residences, they believe in the family hood. WSU’s main objective is to provide a quality living and learning environment to its students and the stakeholders of the university.

All residence rooms are equipped with basic furniture such as a single bed, wardrobe, study desk, and chair. Only self-catering units contain a stove. The university however does not provide kitchen utensils for those who live in self-catering facilities- so remember to bring those kinds of things along! Students in self-catering units need their own cooking and cleaning equipment. The university does not provide bedding. All students bring their own blankets, pillows, linen, and towels, for example.
