Finding a comfortable place to stay on campus can make a big difference in a student’s academic life. The University of Abuja offers affordable hostel accommodation options to its students.
The school hostel is open to both new and returning students. However, due to limited spaces and high demand every year, students are advised to follow the right process and apply early to avoid missing out.
Who Can Apply for UNIABUJA Hostel?
Both new and returning students are eligible to apply for hostel accommodation, as long as they have completed their registration.
It is important to note that students in 300 level often have a lower chance of securing hostel space. This is because many of them are on Industrial Training or Teaching Practice and spend more time outside the campus.
Despite this, any student who meets the requirements can still apply when the portal is open.
