University Housing for Students
Overview
The university housing at King Abdulaziz University offers an ideal environment that supports students in both their academic and personal lives. The housing consists of three main residential complexes, overseen by the Student Housing Department of the Deanship of Student Affairs.
Student housing is primarily designated for students coming from outside Jeddah, facilitating their access to higher education and supporting students from various regions, including remote villages and cities. The university ensures a peaceful and comfortable living environment that encourages study and concentration.
The Student Housing Department strives to provide a suitable environment that meets students' needs, offering fully equipped rooms and additional facilities such as mosques, sports halls, game rooms, outdoor playgrounds, lounge areas with televisions, kitchens, and laundry rooms. The university also provides internet service, continuous cleaning and maintenance, and air-conditioned buses for regular trips between the housing complexes and the faculries.
In addition, the Student Housing Department offers healthcare, social, psychological, and educational support for students, aiming to create an inclusive living environment that encourages sports, cultural, and social activities. The staff at the university housing is trained to provide an environment that promotes both academic and personal goals, contributing to a comfortable and motivating atmosphere, especially for students living far from their families.
All of these services and facilities are carefully designed to provide a healthy and socially supportive environment that enhances academic performance, improving the overall university life experience at King Abdulaziz University.
