UNIBEN Hostel and Off-Campus Accommodation Application

The Dilemma that new students often face is chosen between the UNIBEN Hostel and Off-campus accommodation.

This is a legitimate decision because where you rest goes a long way in determining your productivity in your studies.

UNIBEN Hostel Accommodation

UNIBEN Hostels may seem tacky, and untidy at times with zero privacy but it can be fun and enjoyable. The close proximity to the lecture halls is an added advantage off-campus students do not enjoy.

For those who prefer the UNIBEN hostel, we are glad to announce to you that the UNIBEN hostel accommodation application has begun already.

UNIBEN 2023/2024 Hostel application is fully online for those applying to Hall 1, Hall 2, Hall 3, and Hall 4 while other hostels have to be done at the student affairs.

In the same manner, it is good to know that some of the halls hurriedly get filled up, especially for the returning students. Therefore the application is on a first come first serve basis.
