Housing and Dining

University Residences provide secure spaces for Ahmedabad University students to live in a homelike environment vital for their growth and development. The University currently provides three high quality Residences in its commitment towards simple, comfortable and secure living for those from out of town. Our Residences are a lesson in building a community that has at its core a respect for diversity in ideas, in ways of living, in food preferences, in cultural practices, language and in religion. 

Our University Residences is currently in partnership with an entrepreneurial student accommodation firm, Feels Like Home (FLH). The Residences are overseen by a dedicated Office of Student Residencies. The University has onsite Residence Managers/ Wardens to address any concerns that students might have.

Our modern housing options offered for both boys and girls are within close proximity of the Campus. Currently, the University has separate Residences for boys and girls due to logistical concerns. However, the University may convert some or all of the Residences into co-ed facilities if the situation demands. The conversions will be done keeping all due precautions in mind. There will be exclusive boys’ and girls’ floors with adequate entry barriers to prevent unauthorised access. Transport facility to and from the Campus at specified timings is provided for some of the Residences on need basis. All Residences are under strict security monitoring.

Terms and Conditions

First Year students can register their interest for University Housing by paying a Registration Fee of INR 65,000/- on application. This fee would be adjusted against the actual Housing Fees. The option to register their interest for University housing will be available from June 15, 2024, by logging into the admission portal after the student confirms their final admission by paying the fees for the 1st Semester. 

The Registration Fee has to be followed up by the full payment of the Housing Fee on or before July 15, 2024, failing which the fee will be automatically returned and the booking cancelled.

Though the student may register for single, twin, or triple accommodation, the actual allocation will be done based on availability. Any difference in the fee amounts will be either billed or refunded.

The room allotments annually will be as per the management’s discretion and availability and the same room may not be allotted to a returning student. During semester break, the room may be changed if required.

Student Village

The new Student Village (the University Hostel facility) is most likely to be completed before the winter semester begins. We may look forward to moving to the student Village during the Winter break.
