Tugwell Hall Residence

Tugwell Hall is a large, modern residence with predominantly sharing facilities, built in 1974 and situated on the lower campus next to Leo Marquard Hall.

It can accommodate 405 female students. Rondebosch is a 5-minute walk from the residence, and there is easy access to the Baxter Student Learning Centre, the lower campus squash courts and swimming pool and gym. It is a 15-minute walk from the upper campus, but shuttles are available. First-year students share partitioned double rooms which have built-in furniture and hand basins. Most returning students are accommodated in single rooms.

The Grapevine, the residence lounge, offers a place to relax in the evenings with friends. It also offers an arena for cultural activities, such as poetry readings, book club meetings, student fellowship, quizzes and music.
