Tertiary education is an important investment. Respectable accommodation provides a favourable study environment.

The Academia complex was developed to alleviate the accommodation shortfall, while at the same time fulfilling a need for modern student accommodation on campus at the University of Stellenbosch (US).

To qualify for admission at a residence, matriculants require a 90% grade average.  According to Mohamed Shaikh, Head of Communication of the US, "Notwithstanding sufficient academic capacity, the US must annually turn away a large amount of creditable students due to a shortage of accommodation on the campus".

Academia enables you to secure accommodation on campus without being subjected to a preceding selection process. Already, you have the peace of mind that you will not be denied the privilege of being a Matie due to a shortage of accommodation. This assures you of secure accommodation for your child.

The complex is managed by a body corporate comprising of residents , US personnel, tenants and representatives of the administrative company, Academia Management Services Pty (Ltd). This offers peace of mind as far as supervision is concerned.
