Accommodation remains a very crucial part of every university student’s journey. The fact that NMU students struggle with accommodation with the limited resources provided for by NMU is worrying. There are too many students being admitted into the university while the university has limited accommodation and students come from all walks of South Africa and struggle with accommodation because of this. Students should not be facing these challenges as we feel that the university is well aware of these circumstances and should be able to provide for. They have the statistics, they should use them.
