Halls of residence

The halls of residence is one of the departments under the Student Development Division in Babcock University. This department does not only accommodate and provide welfare for the students who reside in their various hostels, it also encourages them to develop and inculcate good characters and morals for good citizenship within and beyond the boundaries of the University. The synergy between the halls of residence as a department and the student body, parents and other departments within and outside the division helps the department to constantly achieve its aim of providing a sustainable environment for intellectual development. Hence, the students are able to enjoy good facilities and tranquil hostels environment that support their drive for the acquisition of academic knowledge in the University.


Vision: The department has a vision which is ‘to provide a homely environment that promotes healthy life style in the achievement of excellence.’
Mission: The mission is to create an environment that identifies needs, promotes an understanding and nurtures the total development of our students.

The University ensures that each hall has a resident Hall Administrator and other supporting staffs like the Resident Assistants and the Cleaners who are called Homekeepers. These workers, especially the Hall Administrators and the Resident Assistants work with the students in the hostels to ensure peace and calm environment that is conducive for resting and learning. They equally make sure that students adhere to the provisions of the student Handbook within and outside the hostel environment.
