Once again, i congratulate all
the newly admitted students of Nnamdi Azikiwe
University Awka (UNIZIK). I know a lot of you are
currently eager to start rushing down to school to
start processing your admission. Well, that’s right
and nice but on a personal opinion I think you
should wait till next week Monday as the E-
clearance module is yet to be updated on the
university website.
After admission, what follows next is clearance
and accommodation enquiries. Questions are
already been asked by many of you about the best
possible place to live in consideration of many
factors like price, comfort and security. Mind you,
your success here is like 90% dependent on your
choice of lodge. Therefore I found it necessary to
enlighten you on issues relating to school
accommodation based on personal experience and
research.
Be reminded however that in making your choice
you must first ask and answer these questions
yourself;
1. What kind of family do I come from? Rich/poor,
disciplined/anything goes.
2. What is my aim on campus? To succeed/fail
3. What kind of person do I want o be tomorrow?
Bad/good
4. What is my discipline level? Easily influenced/
highly principled
5. Can I stay with someone without problems?
Yes/no
6. Do I want to be a victim of campus violence
and vices? Yes/no
Now that you are done answering these questions,
you should know that Unizik is divided into
Temporary site, Permanent Site and other places.
For what is worth, the Vice Chancellor prefers
University Hostels, Emelda Hostel and Holy Family
Youth Village Hostels to others. This is because
these areas are closer to the authorities and
better secured. Apart from these places, another
location preferable is permanent site (Ifite
precisly). Other accomodation locations are
Amansea, Regina, Temp Site, Eke-Awka side etc.
Temp site is characterized is full of fun, flexing
and enjoyment. Permanent site has all of this plus
safety, proximity to school, conducive and
academic friendly.
SCHOOL HOSTEL
The school hostel is made up of female and male
blocks. Each of them has two apartments. Each
room accomodates four persons. Water supply is

OTHER PLACES
You are free to explore accommodation outside
any of the described places but do well to inquire
about the security in the area. Note that cost of
living off campus is rather on a high side and that
has been the greatest challenge of every Zikite.
However, efforts are already in place to reduce
rent charges off campus. You can also house
someone in need or share a room with another
person off campus.
Furthermore, remember that where you live does
not show the strength of your wealth, it is in the
size of your brain so please keep away from all
hostels placed under embargo by the current
Students' Leadership.
Also, all admitted students who have no place to
check in while waiting for an accommodation can
contact me and members of my team as we are
ready to give you shelter till you get yours
regardless of your gender.
