University residential hostels are available across all SUA campuses to provide safe, convenient, and supportive living environments for students. At Edward Moringe Campus (EMC), housing facilities include Hostels 1 to 12 and the Nicholas Kuhanga Hostels, located just outside the main campus gate. Solomon Mahlangu Campus (SMC) offers Units 1 to 6, while Mizengo Pinda Campus (MPC) also provides student hostels.
There are also many private hostel operators around all campuses, offering alternative accommodation options for students who are not allocated rooms within University residences. The University Housing and Accommodation Bureau (SUAHAB) manages and supervises all University residential facilities and provides hostel services across the campuses.
