Living in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is a walking and cycling university town: Die Boord, Universiteitsoord, Dalsig, Onder-Papegaaiberg and the streets around the central campus are all within minutes of lectures, so transport costs are close to zero and the choice is about price and how central you want to be. A small town with a big university means central rooms cost more than the town’s size suggests and go early.

Shared houses just outside the centre are the usual student arrangement; purpose-built residences sit along the main roads. Stellenbosch University’s Tygerberg campus is in Bellville, Cape Town — a separate market.
