TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION SYSTEM AT FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ADO-EKITI

1. SCHOOL HOSTEL ACCOMMODATION: School hostel is an accommodation system that is managed by the school management to accommodate full time(Morning) students at all levels. Those who are eligible to apply for hostel are majorly FULL TIME(Morning) students. Federal polytechnic Ado Ekiti have three hostels which are the POPULAR ABUJA hostel for males, Lagos hostel for dignified ladies and Annex for ladies and gentlemen. The school hostel is the cheapest among all others accommodation in the polytechnic as the cost for bed space per session is #15,000 only.

Apart from the fact that the school hostel is the cheapest, Students residing in the school hostel; ABUJA, LAGOS and ANNEX enjoy free electricity. There is no need to pay for electricity bills while living in the school hostel. Students also have access to quick information; you also get to lecture room on time as the distance from school hostel to lecture room isn’t far and there are some situations that happens in school in which the hall residence will be aware before it gets to ABA or town which makes the school hostel best accommodation system.

DISADVANTAGES OF FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC ADO HOSTEL:

Students have no Freedom; there are too many rules guiding the school hostel hence you have no freedom and authority over your freedom. You May lose your belongings to theft. We’ve received reports of students losing Their phones, laptops and gadgets in the school hostel.

2. ABA ACCOMMODATION SYSTEM

Aba Erunfun is the community hosting the federal polytechnic Ado Ekiti. This is one of the best accommodation systems for full time students because of its closeness to the school. Rooms in ABA-Erinfun varies, Single Rooms Ranges from #50,000 to #65,000 per session while self-contain ranges from #120,000 and above per session.

The disadvantage of ABA Erunfin accommodation system is that the community doesn’t enjoy constant power supply, standard of living there is high as a commodity sold for #50 in town is doubled price in ABA Erunfun. The accommodation is costly. Imagine paying 70k per session for a single room Where you can also get a single room for just 24k in Town.

3. TOWN ACCOMMODATION SYSTEM

This is an off-campus accommodation system, some of the popular Town accommodation are POLY junction, Mathew, NNPC, odo Ado, Irona etc. Town is also one of the best accommodation system because it is cheap and standard of living there is affordable compared to school hostel and ABA Erunfun.

Accommodation ranges between 25k and 40k in Town and NEPA bill doesn’t exceed #3,000 or #1,500 per month. You also enjoy constant power supply in town. The disadvantage of staying in Town is that it is stressful, you struggle to catch-up with school bus every day when you have lectures, and the cost from and to the polytechnic cost about #1,000/day. However, due to the high cost of transportation daily, living in town can be challenging as the total cost of transport per month can cost you about 15k/20k per month. Town is best for working class students. if you don’t have source of income, I will urge to think very well before choosing this accommodation.
