PROJECT
kitchens forming the hub of social interactions . Studio apartments are also available , with all accommodation including basic furniture – students just need to bring their own linen and personal items .
It ’ s this varied offering of accommodation options pitched at a range of price points that sets Respublica apart from other similar facilities , and , making it appealing for students who would otherwise be compelled to choose informal ‘ digs ’.
‘ Digs ’ usually have many hidden extra expenses , so while their monthly rental may look inexpensive , residents still have to add the costs of electricity , water , internet connectivity , laundry , and cleaning services onto their budget , while considering that the building may not have the reassurance of access control to enhance their safety . Every student , regardless of whether they are sharing a room with one or two other students , or whether they are in a single-occupancy studio apartment , has the same access to all the residences ’ facilities and services , creating the perfect platform for students to focus fully on their studies , and achieve academic excellence .
“ Respublica ’ s ResLife programmes take care of the soft skills a student needs to succeed in tertiary education and supports those about to graduate with job seeking skills too .”
