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 four 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. 

While our own dorms are under construction, our University Residences are currently in partnership with an entrepreneurial student accommodation firm, Feels Like Home (FLH). The Residences are overseen by a dedicated Office of Student Housing and Residential Life. 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.
