Dingemans House is one of five undergraduate residences that form the Hobson Cluster, which accommodates 76 students.

Your Residence Head, Ms Tracey Chambers, the Residence Student Assistants, the Head Student, and the House Committee would like to extend a warm welcome to you in your new home.  We will offer you a sisterly, supportive environment so that you and your parents have peace of mind as you transition from your old school and home to our beautiful campus.   

We therefore strive to ensure that you settle in as quickly and as comfortably as possible and that your experience of residence life is one that aids your academic endeavours while providing you with life-long friendships and memories. 

Each Dingemans student has their own bedroom, fully furnished and equipped with a hand basin.  A bathroom, shower, and toilets are shared by eight students; we take pride in keeping these spaces neat, tidy, and hygienic. Dingemans House is the only residence at Rhodes University with a flat roof, a venue often used for sunset viewing, chilling, sun-tanning and socialising. There are two common rooms, a kitchen and a laundry.  The kitchen has a microwave and two fridges, but NO COOKING facilities are available or allowed.

Dingemans is a part of the lower campus and is near the library, computer laboratories, most lecture venues, Eden Grove and the Steve Biko Union buildings (the swimming pool is found here). Campus Protection and the Health Care Centre are right on our doorstep.
