The pressure to keep up with such displays of affluence has become a hot topic, particularly among those from less privileged backgrounds.

Less privileged students under pressure

While some students might view these luxuries as motivation, others feel overwhelmed and intimidated by their peers' visible wealth.

Many other students also complained about the daily pressure they experienced with fellow rich students.

One user, @Zuzi Mt, expressed optimism despite the stark contrast, saying:

"Qinisa kakhulu kulokhu okuzele, uzobona isimanga nakuwe kuzobabazwa soon," [Focus on what you’re there for. The tables will change very soon, and you’ll also be praised.]

@Ndu9 confirmed the reputation of the Durban North campus, stating:

"🤣 Yes, definitely that's varsity college Durban North rich students."

Others echoed this sentiment by sharing their experiences at various Varsity College campuses, including @sne_mthethwa, who humorously recounted her time at the Sandton campus, where some students even arrived with bodyguards:
