Abstract

This article focuses on how accommodation reforms have impacted the lives of students in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Attention has been paid to history of the various residency and non-residency policies since the inception of the university. The study re-hushes the fact that the prevailing conditions in 1960 are vastly different from 2013. It studies how these policies have evolved since 1960 as well as their impact on students over the years. The article concludes among other things that the university should build more halls or hostels at a subsidized amount. They could do this by entering into partnership with firms, groups and organizations.
