Welcome to
Pretoria

Known as the Jacaranda City, Pretoria is one of South Africa’s major university cities, home to institutions including the University of Pretoria and Tshwane University of Technology. Its leafy streets, historic landmarks and diverse neighbourhoods give the city a character of its own, while its universities bring together students from across South Africa and beyond. From the jacaranda-lined streets around the city to its museums, gardens, sporting venues, restaurants and shopping centres, there is plenty to experience beyond the classroom.

For students, Pretoria offers the opportunity to experience university life within a city that combines established educational institutions with a wide range of cultural, social and recreational spaces. Areas such as Hatfield and Lynnwood are closely connected to student life, with restaurants, shops and everyday conveniences within easy reach of the University of Pretoria. The city also offers access to public transport options, including Gautrain and Tshwane bus routes, making it easier to get around and explore what Pretoria has to offer.

This is where My Space Pretoria fits into the experience. Located in Lynnwood, approximately 3 km from the University of Pretoria, the residence is designed around shared living and community. With furnished double rooms and communal spaces where students can relax, eat and spend time together, it offers an environment where meeting new people and building friendships is naturally part of everyday life.
