Living in Sandton
Sandton is Johannesburg’s business district, so its student rooms serve two groups: students at the private colleges and business schools based here — Regenesys, Emeris Sandton, Boston Media House and FEDISA — and students who commute to Wits or UJ on the Gautrain from Sandton station. Most rooms are in apartment blocks and townhouse complexes in Sandown, Parkmore, Wynberg, Morningside and Bryanston rather than purpose-built residences.
Rents are the highest in Gauteng. Wynberg and Kelvin on the eastern edge are the budget end, and Midrand or Braamfontein are the usual alternatives if the Sandton results are above budget — both are a short Gautrain ride away.
