We are taking a look at the various halls you can find at the University of Ghana(Legon).
There are enough Halls of Residence for both undergraduate and post-graduate students. There are five halls of residence (available to all students) and several Hostels.
Each Hall has junior (students) and senior (academic and senior administrative and professional staff) members, and is governed by a Council made up of individuals elected by the Hall’s members. The Head of the Hall is the Master (or Warden in the case of Volta Hall). For students and faculty, each hall contains a Junior and Senior Common Room.
Each Hall contains a kitchen and a dining hall to accommodate the needs of the students. The different religious denominations are given space within the halls to use for their worship.
