CAMPUS LIFE
Student Residences
A home away from home: creating a homely atmosphere and sense belonging.
WELCOME MESSAGE
Student Residences, our “Home away from Home” welcomes you to this website page.
The University of Limpopo is rich in diversity. You will surely think some students are weird because of the way they dress, speak their languages, prepare their food and even walk or conduct themselves. Moreover, some shout when they speak whereas others are not audible even from a close range. And guess what, one of these people is your roommate. Adjusting to a new home can be a tense and frightening experience. Your patience and understanding during this initial period of adjustment can go a long way to help you feel at home.
All first-entering students (undergraduates) are allocated double rooms for sharing whereas completing (final-year) students get single rooms. You might share a room with a student from a different culture, religion, or nationality from yours. Use this as an advantage to learn new languages, cultures and traditions.
There is Wi-Fi connectivity in the residences. During the Covid-19 lockdown, the university adopted a multimodal (online) teaching and learning where reliable access to the Internet has become a vital resource.
