Her settling-in process included trips to local stores for groceries, skincare products, and room essentials like mats and padding. Such additional expenses come on top of already substantial accommodation costs - at UJ, private residence accommodations can cost anywhere from R50,000 to R61,000 per year for a single room, not including additional expenses like groceries and personal items.

These hefty sums show the investment some families make in their children's education.
