Residence Accommodation

The halls of residence at UB are divided into undergraduate and graduate halls of residence, with the latter housing only undergraduates and the former dedicated to graduate students.  The capacity for the halls of residence is 4478 beds for undergraduates and 240 beds for graduates. The main difference between the two is that graduate halls have self-catering facilities while the undergraduate students are expected to eat from the cafeterias on campus. Student Welfare will continue to come up with housing strategies in line with trends and needs.

Student Welfare offers accommodation to full-time UB registered students. The undergraduate rooms are allocated on a sharing basis of 2 students per room and Graduate rooms are apartments of single rooms with a shared lounge. In all the residences, students share other facilities such as common rooms (with TV) and bathrooms.

A criteria is used for processing requests for accommodation as in most cases the demand exceeds the available spaces. Priority is given to new students and those coming from faraway places including international students. Accommodation can also be offered to none students where there are vacancies.  There are instances were special consideration is given to the allocation of accommodation, particularly to some students on medical grounds, disability status, etc.
