How much is Unilag school fees and acceptance fees for freshers in 2025?
Being one of the most comprehensive universities in Nigeria, the University of Lagos has a lot of applicants every year. Don’t forget that UNILAG is currently among Nigeria’s top 3 best universities, making it the survival of the fittest.
It may interest you that the University of Lagos tuition fee is cheaper when compared to other state and private universities in Lagos. This is because it’s a Federal university, and the government reduced the amount to be affordable.

How much is Unilag Acceptance Fee?
University of Lagos acceptance fee is 40,000 naira only. This is something most admitted students can afford.
Until you pay this fee, your admission is not secured and can be cancelled by the university.
How much is the UNILAG hostel fee?
Considering the accommodation cost in Lagos, I would say the hostel fee is very cheap. UNILAG hostel fee is 100,000 naira per academic session.
However, it doesn’t come easy. You need to apply for rooms. If you get lucky enough, you might get one. Living in the school hostel might be considered a good decision, but it has disadvantages.
As you applied for the hostel room in your 100 Level, you will do the same every other session. You might not get your former room. Each room is overpopulated, and you won’t have any privacy. You are susceptible to any disease your roommates may be carrying.
The hostel toilets and environment are nothing to write home about. Be careful not to contact any disease. Accommodation off campus is costly. If you are not financially capable, apply for the school hostel.
