UCT Student housing 2024-2025
The University of Cape Town (UCT) provides a variety of housing options for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, both on and off campus. These options are categorized into three tiers: first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier accommodations.
- First-tier housing primarily caters to undergraduate students and offers full catering, including up to three meals per day in the dining halls. Many of these residences provide double rooms and common spaces for socializing, along with amenities such as laundry facilities and recreational areas.
- Second-tier residences are intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students. They offer catering services with three meals per day and typically consist of flats with two to four bedrooms, accommodating one person per room. These residences also provide common areas for socializing, and some locations may offer additional amenities like pianos, pool tables, table tennis, and swimming pools.
- Third-tier accommodations are reserved for senior postgraduate students. These homes are carefully designed and supervised to support academic and social well-being. They are often conveniently located within walking distance of the university campus or near Jammie Transport stops, providing easy access to stores and public transportation. These accommodations may come with minimal furniture and can provide access to swimming pools and athletic facilities. Some apartments in this category also offer self-service laundry facilities.
- For students with spouses and dependents, the JP Duminy residence in Mowbray offers apartments in close proximity to the upper campus, Jammie Shuttle, and local stores. It can accommodate 42 students and their children.
