NUST Zimbabwe Accommodation Application 2025/2026

Warden and Sub-wardens
The Warden has a loco-parentis responsibility, available to provide primary counselling and guidance to residents and to refer all cases that require special attention. There are sub-wardens for each residential site. They are appointed to serve over an academic year and are senior undergraduate or graduate students. Reporting to the Warden, the sub-wardens ensure that the day-to-day obligations of the University are carried out to fulfil the needs of residents. They also monitor the observance of regulations by residents and ensure that a clean environment is maintained.Meals and bedding
Residents provide their own linen. No meals or their ingredients are provided, but infrastructural facilities are provided for residents to store and prepare their own meals.Off-campus Privately-owned Rented accommodation
Because of the critical shortage of space within University halls of residence, a greater percentage of the student population stays in privately owned rented accommodation. As an intervention or way of assisting these students, at the beginning of each semester the University flights an advert in the public newspaper, soliciting for accommodation from the Bulawayo community. The University is not directly involved in the management of these facilities, but only indicates where they are, to the prospective occupant. The rest is a private arrangement between the landlord and the student although the University makes regular checks, and interventions to ensure the conduciveness of all such environments in which students are housed.
