The PUMS hostel lodging charge has just become accessible for both new and continuing students. This benefit is targeted mostly for first-year and senior students. Before considering students in the 200 level, the 300 level, or the 400 level, depending on the circumstances, the administration of PUMS gives preference to students in the 100 level and those in their final year of study.
Because of this, it is easier for first-year students to adjust to their new environment and make plans for the next chapter of their lives. They also have easier access to other first-year students, resources, tutorials, and lecture halls, and everything is done on a first-come, first-serve basis.
The PAMO University of Medical Sciences, Portharcourt student hostel provides comfortable living quarters for those attending the university. The cost of a night’s stay at PUMS hostel might vary significantly from one hostel to the next. I will provide a breakdown of the fees associated with staying in the hostel below, and it will be up to you to decide whether or not you will be interested in utilizing the school hostel or renting a place outside of the PUMS campus.
It has been brought to our attention that staying in the PUMS hostel is not a prerequisite for enrollment. Freshmen are especially encouraged to remain on campus at least throughout their first year of school, as this is the standard recommendation.
See the table below for the cost of staying in the PUMS hostel for the 2025/2026 academic session for first-year and returning students.
Please be aware that the school fees, the acceptance fee, and the hostel accommodation fee are all required payments that must be made in order for a new student to be accepted into PUMS. Although the hostel accommodation fee is not a required payment, it is still an important one for first-year students. In addition to the fact that it has cost and benefit implications, the benefits that were discussed earlier should be taken into consideration.
