| 5. STUDENT ACCOMMODATION The school is situated in QUEENSWOOD, Pretoria Most international students are uncertain of the exact date of their arrival in SA, due to fact that the process of applying for a study permit may take longer than anticipated, therefore we suggest that students reside in Queenswood Bed and Breakfast for the first month of their stay in SA, students can stay in alternative accommodation thereafter, from the 2ndmonth onwards. You then pay for a room at Queenswood Bed and Breakfast after you’ve received your study permit, this will ensure that you have a place to stay and that you will not loose money for a place that you’ve booked and paid for, and not occupied.
