Student Life in Gqeberha

Gqeberha is one of South Africa's most student-friendly cities. Home to Nelson Mandela University, it combines an affordable cost of living with a coastline that students elsewhere only dream about.

Hobie Beach, Summerstrand and the Boardwalk are all part of weekend life here. The city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods like Central and North End are well connected by public transport, making it easy to get to campus, part-time work or the shops.

With a mild climate year-round, a growing student community and everything you need within reach, Gqeberha is a city where you can study hard and still enjoy the journey. Our residences place you right in the middle of it. Close enough to the action to enjoy it, and secure enough to retreat from it when it's time to focus.
