Wits's page for international students suggests R8,000 to R15,000 a month depending on lifestyle, with groceries around R2,000 to R3,000, public transport R500 to R1,000, books, printing and data R500 to R1,000, and shared off-campus apartments R3,000 to R6,500. A residence double room is listed at R66,000 a year excluding meals (2026). The page is undated, so treat it as a guide.
