University of Pretoria's Administration building ("Die skip") on its Hatfield campus

Hatfield is a suburb in Pretoria, South Africa with a high density of students and student accommodation due its proximity to the University of Pretoria's main campus.

Sports Team Accommodation

Hatfield's focus on student night life at the hatfield square as in the past has shifted with the demolition of the Hatfield Square in the beginning of October 2015, the new student accommodation on the Hatfield Square site is a welcome addition to the bustling Hatfield suburb. The renewed focus on Sports, Sports development around the University of Pretoria and High Performance Centre, has led to the need for team accommodation along Arcadia Street, between Glyn and Richard Street. Performance Sports Accommodation at 1291 Arcadia Street - hatfield can accommodate most teams, coaches, managers and umpires. School Teams, visiting sports tours, school tours and coaching clinic groups can be accommodated at Performance Sports Accommodation in Hatfied.

Although most of the pubs, bars and clubs on Hatfield square have already closed down, a few are still open and Eastwoods on Eastwood street - close to Loftus, is an ideal choice close by.

Word is that the Hatfield square will soon include a residential building for student accommodation. Start and completion date for the project are not yet known.

As there 3 new residential student buildings going up in close proximity to the Hatfield square, namely Duncan Court on Park Street and Hatfield Studios on Burnett Street it would seem that there is some truth to this info.
