Choose the right part of Potchefstroom.
Start with NWU’s Potchefstroom campus, then compare private residences, shared houses and apartments. The Bult is a useful search area, but the specific faculty, room condition and lease period matter more than an area label. Check whether the quote covers a bed, a private room or an entire apartment.
