Accommodation FAQ

Can I get on-campus accommodation as a fresher?
Most federal universities prioritise 100-level students for limited on-campus space. Apply early via the student portal, immediately after paying acceptance fees.
How much should I budget for accommodation per year?
On-campus halls range from ₦20,000 – ₦80,000 per session. Off-campus self-contained rooms run from ₦200,000 – ₦600,000 per year depending on neighbourhood. Sharing reduces cost significantly.
What should I check before paying for a lodge?
Verify the landlord/caretaker is genuine. Inspect the room in person. Ask about water supply, power (PHCN/generator), security, and toilet facilities. Get a written receipt — never pay cash without one.
