In this article, we are sharing how to book a private hostel in KNUST without facing any challenges.

We understand the frustration of accommodation booking at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. This is because of the vast number of students against the hostels available to accommodate them.

Unlike the University of Ghana, the KNUST practice the In-out-out-out accommodation policy; that is, the university only reserves accommodation for its fresh students – continuing students are expected to make their accommodation arrangements. The traditional halls cannot accommodate more than 15,000 students, which is another challenge we will address in one of our future posts.

As a result of this accommodation deficit, it is imperative to book for your hostel right after paying your academic fees and residential fees. The university has made arrangements with hostels around KNUST to help accommodate fresh students who do not get a place in any of its traditional halls.

If you are a fresh student or a continuing student, this post will successfully guide you through booking a private hostel in KNUST.

The private hostel in this post contest is a facility not owned or controlled by the university management.

The university has its private hostels, i.e., the SRC Hostel and the Postgraduate Hostel. There is also the GUSSS hostels that include Hall 7 and the Brunei hostels.

Freshers who do not get any of the traditional halls are encouraged to use the steps below to book a private hostel in KNUST.

Booking A Private Hostel In KNUST As A Continuing Student

As a continuing student, the process of booking a private hostel in KNUST is a bit different from that of the freshers. Because of the university’s accommodation policy, you are expected to book a place yourself after your first year in the hall.

If you got accommodation in the private hostel from the first year, you could arrange with the hostel’s management for the subsequent academic year. If you reach terms, you have to pay the required hostel fees for the year.

As we indicated earlier, aside from the traditional halls, there is the SRC hostel and the GUSSS hostels.

This article has indicated how to book for the SRC hostel. Should you not get the SRC hostel tool, you can also monitor the GUSSS hostel’s opening dates to try that.

If, after exhausting all the provisions in this post, and you still have challenges with accommodation, you can check our article on the list of hostels around KNUST to make arrangements with its management.
