The motto of the university is "For learning and culture". However, owing to the rigorous and exacting academic standards, students[who?] have parodied this motto to "For learning and torture".

In terms of research productivity, Ife is ranked as the most productive university in Nigeria by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and by Shanghai University world rankings as it relates to Africa. Ife has attracted young Nigerian students because, for a long time, it had no lower age limit for admission.

Enrollment is more than 20,000 for undergraduates and 6,000 for graduate studies. The major halls of undergraduate residences for males are Fajuyi, Awolowo, Angola and E.T.F. For women, halls of residence are Moremi, Ladoke Akintola, Alumni and Mozambique. Muritala Muhammed Hall is for postgraduates.

The university is endowed with modernist architecture - the campus layout and buildings were designed by Israeli architect Arieh Sharon. The original design and architecture are described in detail on the Arieh Sharon Foundation Web Site and Arieh Sharon Foundation Archive. The campus has an eye-catching landscape built on about 5,000 acres (20 km2) of a total of 13,000 acres (53 km2) of the land owned by the university.

The student body is represented by the Students' Union of Obafemi Awolowo University whose activities have been tyranically suspended by the school's VC due to the fact that the school is about to receive the president of the country and there's need to shut the mouth of the only pressure group that may seem to expose the wrath and crimes of the school management.


Halls of Residence

Ile-Ife campus is built on about 5,000 acres (20 km2) of a total of 13,000 acres (53 km2) university owned land. Its halls of residence include:

Awolowo Hall, initially meant for about 700 occupants but now houses over 2,000 occupants Angola Hall, initially meant for 440 occupants but now houses over 1,600 occupants Alumni Hall, meant to serve less than 300 occupants but is accommodating over four times of that ETF Hall, meant for about 500 occupants but now houses over 1,400 occupants Fajuyi Hall, initially meant for about 700 occupants but now houses over 2,000 occupants Ladoke Akintola Hall meant to serve less than 300 occupants but is accommodating over four times of that Moremi Hall initially meant for about 700 occupants but now houses over 2,000 female students Mozambique Hall initially meant for about 700 occupants but now houses over 2,000 female students Murtala Muhammed Hall meant to serve less than 300 occupants but is accommodating over two times of that.

The Male halls are Awolowo hall, Angola hall, ETF hall and Fajuyi hall. The female halls are Alumni hall, Ladoke Akintola hall, Moremi hall, Mozambique hall. The postgraduate hall, Murtala Muhammed hall is a mixed hall.[13]  The halls of residence are now in the poorest welfare state man can ever imagine. Overcrowding, overpopulation, overstretching of facilities have hit these halls. in this regards, diseases and illnesses are on the increase in the community. In a bid to hide his crimes of looting all such money that has been provided for overhauling the welfare state of the university, the Vice Chancellor of the school, Prof. Bamitale Omole on Dec 1st 2015, historically shutdown the school autocratically and thereafter suspended the student
