A Day for Prospective Students to Explore Their Future Digs - 17 May

On 17 May 2025, OppiKampus will throw open its doors as part of a special Open Day in Potchefstroom, syncing up neatly with the North-West University (NWU) Open Day. It's a golden opportunity for future students (and perhaps their Uber-dependent parents) to explore where they could be living while hitting the books – or at least pretending to.

The Open Day will be held at OppiKampus' flagship residence on 76 Steve Biko Street. Visitors are invited to stroll through the residences, get to know the team, and add their names to the 2026 prospect list. This means they'll be among the first to know when 2026 applications go live. Handy, hey?

What's on Offer?

OppiKampus offers a variety of accommodation types – think individual, sharing rooms, bachelor pads, and one-bedroom flats. These are not just any student digs; they're accredited by NWU and designed with student life (both study and social) in mind. That means leafy gardens, free-to-use gyms, and actual thought given to safety and security.

Safety First, Loadshedding Later

Security is taken very seriously. All residences come equipped with 24/7 CCTV and facial recognition entry systems. There's even a dedicated student support service available from 8pm to 7am – because let’s face it, most student crises do seem to happen after dark. And when Eskom does its thing, backup generators keep all the security and communal lights on. Just don’t expect them to power your air fryer.

Nearby Everything

Most of the residences are within walking distance from NWU and local spots like OK Foods and Van Schaik bookstore. No need to bum a ride every day – unless it’s raining, in which case: good luck.

Join the Action

This isn’t just a chance to look at a few bedrooms. It’s a proper get-to-know-you session with the OppiKampus team. And given it’s on the same day as NWU’s Open Day, it’s perfect for prospective students to kill two birds with one campus visit.
