Choose the right part of Midrand.

Midrand and Sandton are distinct locations. Confirm your college or university teaching address before choosing housing between them. A room that works for a local campus can become expensive when rail connections, taxis and evening travel are added. Compare the commute with the total lease cost.

Can I live in Midrand while studying in Sandton?
