To be a Matie means to be a part of the Stellenbosch University community, sharing a sense of pride, loyalty, and camaraderie. Maties are known for their passion, energy, and commitment to excellence.
Anriette Smit – BAccounting
Being a Matie is about more than just studying at Stellenbosch—it’s about having a home away from home and soaking in a Coetzenburg sunset. It’s the excitement of Vensters, the energy of a packed Danie Craven Stadium, and the quiet pride of walking through campus, knowing you’re part of something special. It’s a mix of tradition, adventure, and lifelong friendships that stay with you no matter where life takes you.
