UniMAC SRC secures private hostel in Osu to ease student accommodation challenges

The Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UniMAC) has secured a private hostel facility in Osu as part of efforts to address student accommodation challenges and improve welfare on campus.

The SRC General Secretary, Thomas Amankwah Fosuhene, announced the development in a statement dated February 18, 2026, noting that the initiative forms part of the council’s broader commitment to ensuring access to safe and convenient housing options for students.

“The Kouyo-Milady-led UniMAC SRC is pleased to announce that we have successfully secured a private hostel facility in Osu as part of ongoing efforts to address student accommodation challenges,” the statement said.

According to the SRC, the move is aimed at improving student welfare by providing accommodation within close proximity to campus while enhancing comfort and convenience for residents.

The hostel facility will offer several amenities, including air-conditioned rooms, laundry services, and DSTV access. It will also provide flexible accommodation arrangements, allowing between one and six students per room. The facility is located about a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive from campus.

The council explained that details regarding pricing and booking procedures will be communicated in due course, adding that efforts are underway to ensure the facility remains affordable and accessible to many students.

The SRC emphasised that the initiative reflects its commitment to pursuing practical solutions that respond directly to the needs of students and improve the overall academic and campus experience.

Student accommodation remains a recurring concern in many tertiary institutions in Ghana, with growing enrolment often placing pressure on limited on-campus housing facilities. University authorities and student leadership bodies have increasingly explored private-sector partnerships to address the shortfall.

The SRC reaffirmed its commitment to improving student welfare and strengthening support systems across the university community.
