The hostel facility features 17 hostel units – 8 male and 9 female. Hostels exist in twin clusters each overseen by a Hostel Tutor and led at the student level by a Hostel Prefect. Monitors, when appointed, provide an additional layer of support. The hostels are identified by the names of rivers across the African continent. This is just another way of consolidating our pan-African identity.

Hostels vary in design depending on the period of construction. The Mano-Sassandra, Ankobra-Volta, Nile Lmpopo, and Tana-Kariba hostels were the first to be built and mostly feature two-sided rooms, split by twin showers/toilets that serve each side. Each side houses two students.  These hostels also have two-sided ‘senior student’ rooms that are occupied singly on each side and share a toilet and shower. The design concept mimics huts in a village that sit in a circular arrangement, with each hostel cluster featuring a centrally located ‘palava’ hut designed to unite members. Hostel ‘tribe’ meetings are also held under these ‘palava’ huts.
