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.
