This post contains all you need to know about UNN hostels and UNN off campus accommodation.
First thing first, congratulations on your successful admission into the Den. Welcome to the University of Nigeria.
UNN is the Den. Male students are called Lions, while female folks are called Lionesses.
Life at UNN is exciting at the same time, stressful. Do not fret because you will learn how to survive in UNN.
Before I go into the orientation on the UNN hostel and off campus accommodation, I want to answer a few questions from UNN freshers.
This post also contains all you must know to survive and settle in UNN.
UNEC students should read Lodges in UNEC and Hostel Accommodation in Enugu Campus
If you have questions about UNN, UNN lodges, Post UTME, first year clearance, etc. Let me know in the comment box. I will get back to you.

Where Is UNN Located in Nsukka
UNN is in the soft green hills of Nsukka. Wherever part of the country you are coming from, locating the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, is not a problem.
All you have to do is take a bus coming to Nsukka. The last bus stop is at Ogige market.
Inside the Ogige market, you will find taxis and buses painted green. Green and white is UNN official colour.
The bus or cab will take you to campus for fifty Naira (bus) or seventy Naira (taxi).
Cultism in UNN
Cultism is a problem ravaging many higher institutions in Nigeria. It is rare in UNN. I never encountered cultists during my stay in Nsukka. I guess everybody was too busy reading to increase their CGPA.
Cultist activities are only heard about in some areas off-campus. But never on campus.
Worry not about cultism in UNN.
Surviving in UNN
Surviving in UNN requires smart work and the grace of God. Like a Lion or Lioness, you must learn to focus on details.
You should know when to run or walk. Work hard with God’s grace – you will survive in UNN.
One funny problem you will contend with throughout your stay in the Den is the Nsukka weather.
Now, let us talk about accommodation at UNN.
Names of Hostels in UNN
There are fifteen hostels in UNN. Two hostels assign to the male students, while the rest are for the lioness.
Guys, calm down before you shout about gender inequality. UNN give priority to female students in accommodation and everything else.
An important point to note is that you secure a hall according to your Faculty. For example, female students in the College of Medicine get Presidential hall. Pharmacy lioness gets Bello Hall.
Still, female students in other Faculties can choose from a hall.
List of Male Hostels in UNN
Here are the names of male hostels in UNN
- Eni-Njoku Hall
- Alvan Ikoku
Both male hostels are the same structure-wise. But, many students prefer Alvan Ikoku. The rooms have security doors – a fancy word for iron doors. Also, there is a football pitch at the quadrangle.
List of Female Hostels in UNN
Here are the names of female hostels in UNN
- Aja Nwachukwu Hostel
- Eyo Ita Hostel
- Balewa Hostel
- Okeke Hall
- Akintola Hostel
- Akpabio Hostel
- Presidential Hostel
- Bello Hall
- Okpara Hall
- Kwame Nkrumah Hostel
- Mary Slessor
- Awolowo Hostel
UNN Hostel Allocation Format
- Presidential Hostel – College of Medicine Students
- Awolowo & Aja Nwachukwu – Faculty of Agriculture Students
- Bello Hostel – Pharmacy Students
- Eyo Ita Hostel – Biological Science Students
Things to Bring to UNN Hostel
Here is the list of things you need to bring to the hostel as a fresher;
- Rechargeable study lantern
- Schoolbag
- Clothes and footwear
- Bedsheet and pillowcase
- Cardigan or sweatshirt
- Two (2) 25-litre gallon
- A few hangers for clothes
- Thick cover exercise notebook
- Two (2) buckets
- Shoe rack (for ladies)
- Foodstuffs
- Kerosene stove
- Custard cup bucket (for ladies only)
- Plate and spoon
- Wall-mounted fan (for ladies)
- Extension socket
- Pressing iron
- Makeup kits (for ladies)
Note that you have purchased some of the listed items at Ogige Market in Nsukka for convenience.
Also, the above items are not compulsory. Get the ones that you can afford.
UNN Presidential Hostels
UNN Presidential hostel on the Nsukka campus is for first year students in the College of Medicine.
I mean students in MBBS, Dentistry, MLS, Rehab, Radio, Nursing, Anatomy, Physiology, Mol. Bio.
The hostel is beside the Akintola hostel and the Student Union Building (SUB).
Ten (10) students live in a room in the presidential hostel. There are ten (10) bed spaces in the rooms.
Each room contains a toilet and a bathroom.
Overcrowding and squatting is the major downside of a Presidential hostel.
Many medical students cannot secure a bed space to squat with their friends in the hostel for the academic session.
It is not easy to get a Presidential hostel in UNN because of the limited number of bedspace.
The hostel is the smallest public female hostel on Nsukka Campus.
If you intend to stay in the hostel, you must pay your school fees early. Apply for the hostel the very moment the portal is open.
After the first day of hostel application, you have a slim chance of getting Presidential.
The presidential hostel is also located in UNEC, though as a private hostel.
Hall, dormitory and hostel all mean the same thing.
UNN Hostel
- There is a clothing wardrobe in both the male and female hostels in UNN.
- Cooking is allowed in UNN male and female hostels.
UNN Hostel Application
UNN hostel application for freshers is a hectic process. It is a first come, first serve system.
The good news is that the University administration prefers first year students.
All you have to do is pay your school fees early to be eligible for a hostel application.
The application is on the UNN School Portal.
Check the University website and UNN Facebook Groups to get the necessary information. Announce the opening of the hostel portal is on the University’s website.
You have a high chance of securing hostel bed space a few minutes after opening the portal. Use a 4G internet-enabled device for your hostel application.
Not Able to Get UNN Hostel
You should try not to panic if you cannot get a bedspace.
As you are aware, the process is highly competitive because of the little bedspace available for students.
You need to know that the hostel portal will still be open from time to time for students to get hostel accommodation.
You have to keep trying the portal even at night to stand a chance to get a bedspace.
Do not quit now. There is still hope of getting UNN hostel accommodation.
Squatting in UNN Hostel
The term squatting is the arrangement where you stay with a student who has a bedspace in the hostel.
Squatting is illegal in the UNN hostel by the University student affairs.
But desperate times call for desperation. Your goal is to resume lectures to get good grades in your exams.
Find a way to solve your problem.
One thing that you can do is to go to the student affairs or meet with the hostel wardens to beg for temporal accommodation.
How Much Is UNN Hostel Accommodation
For female students, UNN hostel accommodation is twenty thousand Naira (₦25,000).
Male students pay twenty thousand Naira (₦20,000). You pay a token at the Student Affairs Department during hostel clearance.

UNN Off Campus Accommodation
For many reasons, most students prefer to live off-campus at UNN.
Advantages include; privacy, personal hygiene, a comfortable study environment, etc.
The problem UNN freshers encounter is greedy house agents of lodges in UNN Nsukka. Many scammers parade themselves as house agents.
Most of these house agents are fellow students whose goal is to extort first year students. It is necessary to get a proper orientation on UNN off-campus accommodation.
Be cautious when searching for accommodation. The way to spot dubious house agents is that they are always impatient.
They show you a lodge this minute and want you to immediately transfer money to their account.
They would not allow you to make your choice.
This lodge is the best; you will always hear them say.
The most important thing is to relax and make the best choice for yourself. Scammers are usually scared of their parents.
Fortunately, I can assist you to get a quality lodge off campus.
Your main question is where I should stay off campus at UNN.
There are four areas where students live off-campus. They are;
- Hilltop
- Odim
- Odenigwe
- Behind Flat
- Green House
Note that self contains for rent in UNN may have a single room and toilet. No kitchen. You would have to pay more to get the kitchen package.
UNN Hilltop
Hilltop in UNN is one of the best places to stay off-campus. It is the Dubai of UNN.
The student-to-indigene ratio is very high compared to other locations around UNN.
Most of the lodges here have a modern structure. The proximity to the school also gives it an edge over other areas.
Electricity is constant here. By steady electricity, I do not mean 24 hours of power. Generally, electricity is not a problem in Nsukka.
Do you like the high life, a place where something is always pumping? Hilltop is the best choice for you.
Downside of Hilltop
- Security is a serious concern here. The few fine boys in UNN live here. Every year, there are reported cases of shootings and cult-related activities.
But if you are coming to study, you should not have any problem.
- Lodges here are expensive compared to other locations around UNN. It is because of the modern design of the houses. So you have to pay more to get a hilltop lodge.
- As the name of the place suggests, it is on the hill. You would have to engage in exercise while returning home from school.
Trekking is a thing here in UNN. After all, exercise is good for the body.
How Much Are Lodges in Hilltop
Self Container is usually between eighty to two hundred thousand Naira (₦80,000 – 200,000).
A single room goes for forty to eighty-five thousand Naira (₦40,00 – 85,000).
UNN Odenigwe
Odenigwe is like Hilltop. It has a similar environment and cost of living. The student ratio here is also high. There are new lodges here. The power supply is also okay.
Downside
Like Hilltop, security is a bit of a concern.
How Much Are Lodges in Odenigwe
Self Contain = Eighty to two hundred thousand Naira (₦80,000 – 200,000)
A Single room = Forty to seventy thousand Naira (₦40,000 – 75,000).
UNN Behind Flat
Behind flat is close to the boy’s hostel and Akanu Ibiam stadium. There are good lodges here.
The major problem is proximity. You have to trek some distance to get to your lecture hall.
You can always use the school shuttle to avoid walking.
- Lodges in behind flats are cheap compared to Hilltop and Odenigwe.
- Security is not much of a concern in Behind flat. Nsukka is a peaceful town.
How Much Are Lodges in Behind Flat
Self Contain is between eighty to one hundred and fifty thousand Naira (₦80,00 – 150,000).
A single room behind flat is between forty to seventy-five thousand Naira (₦40,00 – 75,000).
Green House in UNN
Lodges in the greenhouse are very cheap. I mean very affordable. It is the best place to find a cheap house.
Electricity is constant in the greenhouse. The greenhouse has stable electricity more than other areas in UNN.
But, the distance to campus is a disadvantage. You can only stay in comfort if you have a car or motorcycle. Also, few students live in this area.
How Much Are Lodges in Green House
Self Contain in Green House is between fifty to one hundred and twenty thousand Naira (₦50,00 – 120,000).
The price for a single room apartment in Green House ranges from twenty to sixty thousand Naira (₦20,00 – 60,000).
Odim in UNN
Odim is my favourite off-campus location. I’m going to be a bit partial here. I lived in Odim during my first year. So, you see why.
The indigene ratio is very high. Odim looks like a modern village.
The crime rate in Odim is zero. You can leave your door open while you go to lectures. But don’t try this.
To emphasize the security status in Odim. You can sleep with your door wide open without fearing losing your lecture note.
Electricity is constant in Odim. Some areas use the more constant school light.
How Much Are Lodges in Odim
A single room in Odim costs between forty to seventy-eight thousand Naira (₦40,00 – 78,000) = 40-78k
Self contain is between sixty to one hundred and sixty thousand Naira (₦60,00 – 150,000).
Kindly note that the prices provided above are estimates. The cost of lodges varies with location. Ensure that you rent a hostel that suits your budget.
Only pay for a lodge that you have inspected yourself. Make sure to ask questions from people living in the area.
Note that many agents are going around looking for first year students to defraud. Shine your eyes.
Walking distance off-campus is walkable to lecture halls except for the greenhouse.

Hi, I would like to know if application for UNN hostel is currently ongoing as I always see an error message whenever I try to apply:
“There is no available activated bedspace for year students”
That’s the error message.
Charles,
Are you a first year student?
I only have presidential hall listed for me on the hostel portal. It also said “there is no available activated bedspace for year 1students”. Pls do I go for lodge or should I wait?
Jenny,
If you have the resources, you can go for a lodge.
There is a slim chance you could still get hostel accommodation.
Thanks sir for the information so far. Please sir concerning getting a lodge off-campus, which of the location would you advise me to get accommodation that will be very close to my department “Political Science”? A lodge with cheap price and safety. But more especially very close to my department.
Makuachi,
Based on proximity, Hilltop is the best off campus location for Political Science students.
Okay sir, thanks sir. But sir do you have an idea how much I can a single there “Hilltop”?
Makuachi,
It depends on the location and your budget.
But you can get a single room for about 80k.
I mean do you have an idea of current price a single room goes for at Hilltop. An agent told me 80k, just for a single room not self contain.
Hello Makuachi,
80k is fair for a single room at Hilltop.
You can check out other lodges for a cheaper prices.
Good day sir
You will have the connection for Mary slessor hostel

Hello Charles,
The number of occupants in the UNN hostel is four students per room.
Do you want to live in the school hostel or off campus?
Good day sir,
Among the listed churches,
I didn’t see the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s witnesses, is there any one around
Hello Abigail,
It was an omission.
Thanks sir for the post. But sir from my above observation regarding to the list of items students are meant to bring in to their hostels, what about a student that has a photocopying machine and a printer that wants to use them for business while staying in the hostel , how will such person go about with those equipments or is there private room in the hostel that one can acquire? I mean staying alone in a room?
Hello Makuachi
It depends on the size of the photocopying machine.
If it is those big types they use in computer business centres, then you will not be allowed into the hostel.
But for compact printers, you can run your business inside the school hostel.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
So sir what is your advice here, are you advising such person with those equipments not to live in the school hostel? Is there other location/hostel off the school that will be safety/conducive/beneficial for such person to stay? A place with more population and affordable, where one can be getting work often, with his equipments secured? Where do you suggest?
Makuachi,
You can get a space close to your hostel for your business.
Also, running the business off campus is a good option if you combine it with academics.
Good day, thanks a lot for the research done above. For a Postgraduate student applying to Mass Communication department which of these areas would you suggest.

Bro i am trying to get a lodge in hiltop do you know anyone that can help
Hello Goodyballz,
I do not know any Agent in Nsukka personally.
If i didn’t apply early for hostel
Will d bedspace remain?
Well, Moses
It is possible to get a bedspace but your chances will be slim.
As you know, the available bedspace in UNN is not enough for students.
It is why the process is competitive.
Sir from what I read there that presidential hostel is for health sciences and it has just 10 bed spaces which means it will be small and uncomfortable, my question now is if I didn’t get a bed space there can i switch to another hostel or is it a must that we must apply there
Favour, there are more than ten bedspaces in Presidential Hostel.
It is ten bedspace per room.
You cannot get another hostel apart from Presidential Hostel except you are a staff kid or with a connection.
Me too I have the same issue
I feel your pain, Glory
You have to continue to try to get a bedspace on the hostel portal.

It is for a year, that is 12 months duration.
Is mary slessor hostel dirty, like unhygienic, current what is the best hostel
The best UNN female hostel for undergraduate students right now is the Okeke hostel. It is because the hostel was recently renovated.
Marry Slessor is for staff kids, nursing mothers, etc.
All the female hostels are virtually the same in terms of hygiene, serenity, etc.
These hostels were built way back in the 1960s thereabout. So, don’t expect five-star accommodation.
You will survive like other UNN female students in whichever hostel that you get.
In the next coming weeks, I will update this content to include details about the inside of the female hostels in UNN.
Do well to visit this page for more update.
How is the availability of water in unn
There is pipe-borne water in UNN hostels.
Though, there are times when there will be a scarcity of water, especially in the male hostels. The effect is a long queue.
The water in the hostel is free of charge.
Students living off-campus in UNN buy 25 litres of water at a rate of about thirty to forty naira depending on location.
Only a few expensive lodges have running water.
Students living off-campus also make use of rainwater during the rainy season.
Pls Sir,what Do U Mean By Private Hostel
Private hostels are designated for nursing mothers, staff kids, etc.
You cannot apply for the hostel on your school portal.
Students get the hostel through the Student Affairs Department.
In summary, you need the connection to get Mary Sclessor’s Hostel in UNN. Other hostels on campus are public.
Pls any WhatsApp group for Economics freshman
Sorry, I don’t know of any WhatsApp group for Economics freshers.
Good evening sir. Thank you for the information, I am indeed grateful. Please, if you don’t mind, I’m having trouble deciding the female hostel to stay in and I couldn’t look around when I came for the post-utme. So I don’t know anything about the hostels. Could please tell me female hostels you think would be spacious, conducive and hygienic enough (including adequate water supply). Thanks again.
A tricky question.
First of all, your Faculty determine the hostel that you will stay.
For now, Okeke hostel is the best because it was recently renovated.
Also, Mary Slessor hostel is a good option, though a private hostel.
The female hostels in UNN are pretty the same except the Nkrumah hostel.
You will be fine with whichever hostel that you get but stay away from Nkrumah.
Please sir if you don’t mind, I’m meant to pay the school fees before going for a hostel accommodation.
How do I go about getting my school fees paid sir?
You must pay your school fees before you can apply for space at the hostel.
Payment of school fees for the 2020/2021 academic session has not begun.
You will have to wait till the start of the next session which will kick off around August/September.
Payment of school fees is on the UNN portal.
At the moment, you can only pay for your acceptance fee.
Congratulation on your admission into the Den.
Thanks a lot sir.
How will I be able to access the school news on the go???

PLS HW DO I GET A SINGLE ROOM AT GREEN HOUSE
Michael,
I would not advise that you live in Green House as a student.
The student population in Green House is low. You can only cope if you have a car or motorcycle.
I recommend you get accommodation in Odim. You can get a single room for about 40k depending on the standard of the lodge.
The basic rule of getting cheap lodges in UNN off campus accommodation is to secure a lodge on time when the demand is still low. It is the period you would be able to find cheap lodges.
Nevertheless, to get a single room in Green House or Odim. Arrive campus. Ask for direction to any of your preferred locations.
At the begin of every session, you would see posters on campus on single and self contain lodges.
Be careful not to encounter scammers.
Excuse me, I heard that the campuses in the school are not in a good condition. Do you advice that I stay off or on campus?
The hostels in the school are in manageable habitable conditions. The female hostels are okay especially as squatting (overpopulation) isn’t much of a problem there.
A major downside of living in the school hostel is poor sanitary condition. Usually, ladies use custard cups for their business.
Staying off campus may be advantageous when you consider personal hygiene and serene environment.
I recommend you check out the hostels yourself when you come to Nsukka for your Post UTME.
Good afternoon sir, my name is David and I am from kogi state please I need an advise sir I am planning to choose unn as my first choice in the next year jamb. What are my chances of getting the admission sir
Hello David,
You have a good chance of getting admitted into UNN next year. First, there is no discrimination of the state of origin whatsoever in UNN admission process.
Mathematically, a student from Kogi has a higher chance of gaining admission into UNN than a student from Enugu because of the fewer number of applicants.
The University follows the Federal government admission quota, which is:
1. Merit – 45%
2. Catchment – 35% (Enugu, Delta, Anambra, Imo, etc).
3. Educationally less developed states – 20% (Kogi, Kwara, Kaduna, Benin, etc).
I don’t know the course that you intend to study in UNN, but I strongly advise that you work hard to pass both the JAMB and Post UTME exams with high aggregates.
Your aim should be to meet the cutoff mark and have the highest score amongst the students who applied for the same course from your state.
I recommend that you read: How to Pass UNN Post UTME Exam
