Uniben Hostel Accommodation: Application Procedure

UNIBEN Hostel Accommodation: Application Procedure

One of the challenges newly admitted students (freshers) face is the issue of hostel accommodation. This has become a common issue for both freshers and non – freshers in top Universities. However, University of Benin, Uniben, being one of the top Universities in Nigeria, has a unique hostel accommodation application process. Even so, most freshers, who are not familiar with this process, end up spending excessively by passing through third party agents in their quest to acquire a hostel accommodation. Some students, who fail to secure a hostel accommodation space due to one reason or the other, end up settling outside the campus which is sometimes very stressful and less secure. This article will serve as a guide for hostel accommodation applicants in the upcoming academic session.

Eligibility

For you to be eligible to apply for hostel accommodation in University of Benin, it is compulsory that you be a full time undergraduate of the institution. Applicants must also make payment for all academic charges for the new session. For special hostels like the medical hostel, it is compulsory for the applicant to be a medical student.
