Midrand accommodation with transport: the student shuttle guide
One of the first questions students ask before booking Midrand accommodation is how they'll actually get to campus. Several colleges in the Midrand and Waterfall precinct run their own student shuttle services, so you can book Midrand accommodation with transport already sorted rather than working it out after you've moved in. Here's what's currently available and what it costs, so you can budget properly for transport to Eduvos Midrand or any of the other campuses in the area.

Why transport matters when booking Midrand accommodation
Midrand and Waterfall are commercial precincts rather than traditional student suburbs, so a reliable shuttle to Midrand Eduvos or your own campus can matter as much as the room itself. It's a key selling point of developments like Midrand Student Accommodation, a 2027-delivery property near Emeris and Eduvos Midrand that will house 650 students - view the listing on DigsConnect. If you're also weighing up whether to base yourself near Sandton or commute in from Midrand instead, see our guide on why Sandton students are moving to Midrand.
