If you do not want to miss out on being a freshman student, if you want to fully experience the wholesomeness and joy of being a Kovsie in every cell of your body, there is only one answer: Get accommodation in a residence on the campus. It is a life-changing experience that will create memories you will carry with you for the rest of your life.
We will be excited to welcome you as one of the fortunate prospective first-year students to obtain a place in a residence.
If you are a senior student and are already enjoying the wonderful experience of being a Kovsie in a residence – welcome back!
If you are a postgraduate and/or an international student and want to continue with your studies independently and without being disturbed – welcome to the residential unit, student flat or student room that has been specially equipped for you to study undisturbed.
The UFS’s variety of accommodation categories (residences, student flats, student rooms and residential units), each with its own character, cultural composition and unique traditions, contributes to the colourful life and wonderful campus spirit that is unique to being a Kovsie.
The Accommodation Services Department strives throughout to make provision for the diverse needs of students. For this reason, accommodation on the Kovsie campus is diverse and constantly changing.
