Definition: Horison = “where the sky meets the earth”
Our logo depicts “the dawn of a glowing vibrant new era”
Where the sky meets the earth a Horison forms after the formation, the trendsetters emerge. That is who we are, “the trendsetters of excellence”
The Horison residence is a home away from home situated in the Auckland Park suburb it is specifically established to accommodate University of Johannesburg students only.
Horizon residence is not just a building with rooms furnished with a bed and a study desk and other needs conducive for residential purposes, but a home with a purpose a place where students will be proud to be associated with and feel good about being part of that home. Our intention is to ensure that by the time our students leave the institution it is not only the piece of paper they are holding in their hands, they ready to face any challenge the world holds for them. Our focus is on producing well-rounded individuals. Our students will look back and be proud to be associated with Horison residence “it is indeed a blessing to become a member of this family”.
