The university provides dormitories across five campuses (including Obour City), available to Egyptian and international students. Rooms are clean and furnished, with shared facilities like bathrooms, kitchens, cafeterias, and recreation areas. Single-sex halls are supervised 24/7. A student housing office handles allocations, services, and upkeep. Students may also find off-campus apartments or shared housing near transit routes at reasonable prices.

International students usually start with on-campus registration via the International Students Office. After arrival, they participate in orientation and receive assistance from mentors and senior “buddy” students. The university helps connect newcomers with existing student residents or approved landlords. Private housing in Obour City or nearby towns is often affordable and within a 10–15 minute commute. The housing unit assists with contract advice and sometimes arranges transport shuttles where needed.
