Student hostels offer various types of accommodation, including single rooms, shared rooms, and apartment-style units. Rooms are typically furnished with basic necessities such as a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, and sometimes a private bathroom. Shared facilities like kitchens, common rooms, laundry rooms, and study areas are also provided.

Student hostels are often located on or near campus, providing convenient access to academic buildings, libraries, dining halls, and other campus facilities. Proximity to campus reduces commuting time and allows students to immerse themselves in campus life and activities.

Hostels prioritize the safety and security of students, with measures such as controlled access to buildings, security guards, surveillance cameras, and emergency response systems. Residential staff may also be available to address safety concerns and provide assistance to students.
