Housing & Meals

Housing

Trinity in Cape Town participants are housed in student apartments located in the Mowbray neighborhood, situated approximately 30 minutes away from the University of Western Cape via shuttles or public transportation. Students are housed in an apartment building fondly called “The Nest,” and live in double rooms with shared kitchens and bathroom facilities. The residents are both study abroad students from all over the world, as well as African students and include some student mentors as well.  The building also features coin-operated laundry, wifi, a 24/7 security guard, locked doors and is within walking distance to shops, restaurants and banks. For photos and additional information, students are encouraged to visit the Nest’s website.
