Kenyatta University (K.U) Hostel Applications and Allocations

If you have been searching online about the Kenyatta University First Year Hostel Allocation details, then I have great news for you.

In this article, you will learn about different types of hostels at KU, their names, hostel rules, and how to apply and check status online.

Room Types

Different rooms come with different prices. These will be paid as Accommodation fees at the beginning of each Semester.

The rooms are classified as Single, Double, or Triple depending on the number of occupants. Single rooms are the most expensive while triple is the cheapest.
