Testimonials

What residents and parents say

Feedback from a former Morlanahof student and the parent of a former student.

Morlanahof was a very convenient place to stay while studying at UFS. Being so close to Gate 3 made it easy to walk to classes, and I saved a great deal of time travelling to and from campus. My room was much larger and more luxurious than a hostel room and the other student accommodation I viewed in Bloemfontein. I also enjoyed having access to a proper kitchen and living area. The premises were always kept very neat, and the gardens were beautifully maintained and pleasant to look at. I felt comfortable living there and would gladly recommend Morlanahof to another student.
Former Morlanahof student
As a parent, the location and security were very important to me when choosing accommodation for my child. Morlanahof's position directly opposite UFS Gate 3 was ideal, and the security measures gave me additional peace of mind. The room and shared areas were neat and practical, and the communication whenever we had a question was always helpful. It was reassuring to know that my child lived so close to campus.
