The location of our students’ homes plays a crucial role in their academic success and personal development. To this end, our accommodation facilities are designed to provide comfort, security, and a sense of belonging that supports a balanced university experience. Across our campuses, we offer a variety of housing options, from on-campus hostels to accredited private residences, all managed to ensure safety, convenience, and a vibrant student community.
On-Campus Hostels
Our on-campus hostels are located within walking distance of lecture halls, laboratories, libraries, and recreational spaces. Each hostel offers a clean and well-organised living environment, providing both shared and single-room options for male and female students.
Facilities typically include:
- 24-hour security and access control
- Steady water and power supply
- Shared or ensuite bathrooms
- Common rooms for study and relaxation
- Laundry areas and kitchenettes
- Residence assistants to support student welfare
The university prioritises first-year and international students for on-campus spaces to help ease their transition into university life.
Private Residences
In addition to university-owned hostels, students have the option of opting for private accommodation facilities around its campuses. These hostels, while not officially approved by the university for safety and quality standards, might offer features specific to students who prefer independent living.
Private hostels are available in areas close to all our campuses, ensuring students can easily reside near their faculty.
Living Experience and Community Life
Student accommodation is not just a place to sleep; it is a community designed to foster friendships, cultural exchange, and personal growth. Hostel life encourages students to share responsibilities, engage in social activities, and build lifelong connections.
Residents also enjoy access to the university’s numerous facilities, including the OGD Hall, Sports Complex, ICT laboratories, and student support centres, ensuring a well-rounded campus experience.
