Living in Hatfield

Hatfield is Pretoria’s student suburb: the University of Pretoria’s main campus, the Hatfield Gautrain station, the bars and shops along Burnett Street, and block after block of private student residences and shared houses. Most rooms are a 10–20 minute walk from the campus gates, and the UP shuttle reaches the outer streets.

It is the most expensive part of Pretoria for students and the first to fill — by January the closest residences are gone. Many are NSFAS-accredited; if you are funded, filter for accredited rooms and compare the all-in price with Wi-Fi and electricity.
