If you’ve been waiting to move back into the hostel and finally feel the buzz of campus life again, the wait is over. Lagos State University (LASU) has officially announced that students allocated bed spaces can start checking into their hostels on Saturday, 11th October 2025, beginning at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
That means the gates will open, bags will roll in, and campus life will slowly start breathing again. You can almost hear the mix of excitement and chaos already—friends reuniting, laughter echoing through the halls, and that unmistakable smell of hostel paint and new beginnings.
Hostel Check-In Details
Now, before you start throwing things into a bag and calling your roommates, here’s what the school wants you to know. To check in, every student must come along with three key documents:
- Receipt of hostel payment – proof that you’ve paid for your space.
- Bed space allocation slip – this confirms your assigned spot.
- One passport photograph – simple but mandatory.
Without these, the hostel officers will likely turn you back, and honestly, no one wants to travel all the way to Ojo only to return home again.
What to Expect on Arrival
The check-in process usually starts calm and then turns lively fast. Expect queues at the hostel gates, staff verifying documents, and a few confused faces trying to find the right building. If you’re new, it’s fine to ask questions. Everyone’s been there once, dragging luggage, searching for their room number, and hoping their mattress isn’t too old.
And if you’ve got friends helping you move in, better come early. By afternoon, the place gets crowded, and even finding parking can turn into a small adventure.
A Few Handy Tips
- Arrive early – showing up before the rush makes everything smoother.
- Keep your documents safe – laminating them might be a smart move.
- Check your room properly before unpacking—locks, lights, sockets, everything.
- Bring basic cleaning supplies, because some rooms might need a quick touch-up before settling in.
