The AAU hostel accommodation fee for both new and returning students is now available to most, particularly fresh and final-year students. The management of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma prioritizes both 100-level and final-year students over students in the 200, 300, and 400-level programs, if applicable. This is because it allows freshers to readily settle in and plan for a new part of their lives, as well as easy access to other new students, materials, tutorials, and lecture halls on a first-come, first-served basis. This is also the case with final year students, although it does not mean the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma hostel accommodation is suitable for students. AAU hostel accommodation fees vary by hostel. I’ll put the hostel fees below, so you can decide whether you want to use the school hostel or rent a room outside of the AAU campus. Please be aware that hostel housing at AAU is not required. However, it is recommended that first-year students stay on campus for at least one year.
Please keep in mind that AAU school fees, acceptance fees, and hostel accommodation fees are all mandatory fees that every new student must pay upon admission. While the hostel accommodation fee is not mandatory, it is an important one for freshers. Aside from the cost-benefit implications, the benefits listed above should be considered.
