I wasn\u2019t accepted for two years. There are students who didn\u2019t apply for accommodation who are being assisted. And here we are, sitting outside, without any accommodation. I\u2019m here because I want to study. We cannot afford private accommodation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another student, who also wished to remain anonymous, said: \u201cI have been here for a few hours, while others have been here for weeks. They came and told us there was no space available at residences, that they are fully booked. I don\u2019t know where to go now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe status of my application for accommodation has been pending since last year. I am also first-year. We need accommodation; we cannot be expected to sleep on the floor because it\u2019s painful for the body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One first-year student, known only as Engelbert, said he had arrived from Kimberley in the Northern Cape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost of the students got bursaries and applied for NSFAS [National Student Financial Aid Scheme]. The fees for private accommodation are too expensive. I don\u2019t have place in residence so I will have to find private accommodation.

Private accommodation is fully booked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lauren Kansley, spokesperson for the campus, said the institution has 16 200 bed capacity across all its campuses, which she said was filled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said CPUT had received more than 500 000 applications to study, but the institution had space for only 38 840. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe try our best to assist students. We try to place first-year students first. We are working with private landlords. Last night we moved 32 students to private landlords.
