Finding a place to live near campus.
Most students live in private hostels and rented accommodation around Muni Hill and in Arua City. During orientation week Guild officials help new students find suitable hostels and settle in; the Office of the Dean of Students advises on accommodation and welfare. Sponsored students receive an accommodation allowance.
New hostels are planned
Government funding for public universities covers non-residential buildings. Through a partnership with the National Housing & Construction Company, the University is planning students’ hostels on its land. Read about the partnership.
