Outstation Students – Information about Accommodation
Habib University welcomes students who hail from outside Karachi, to this vibrant city full of light and life! Improving access to education being a cornerstone of the Habib University’s mission, the University offers admissions to numerous freshmen every year who cross borders to enter the doors of our campus, and benefit from unlimited opportunities in Pakistan’s most bustling metropolis.
Why Karachi?
A diverse urban center housing more than 20 million people, Karachi is the financial and social hub of Pakistan.
As a focal point of technological and entrepreneurial innovation, it is the city where dreamers come to chase
their dreams, capitalizing on the vast array of opportunities available to them. This sprawling port city is
also home to a population of migrants from a myriad of backgrounds, all combined in a melting pot to make
Karachi one of the most diverse cities in the world. With its world-class cuisine, beaches and local attractions,
it has earned a reputation as one of the liveliest cities in Pakistan, or as it is popularly known,
“the city of lights.”
Habib University is a microcosm of this blend of cultures – our lions are not only encouraged to excel
academically but are also taught to listen to differing opinions; to explore ideas that conflict with
their own, all the while respecting the tremendous diversity that makes this city quintessentially Karachi.
Habib University captures within its walls the spirit of celebration, friendship, tolerance, entrepreneurship,
curiosity, and risk-taking that is Karachi. It opens doors for you in the financial, industrial, and non-profit
sectors.

outside its gates.
Accommodation for Out of Karachi Students
Habib University is cognizant of the fact that outstation students who have been offered admission may require accommodation in Karachi.
Being a non-residential campus, Habib University strongly encourages all outstation students to make arrangements for their accommodation well in advance to avoid any inconvenience during studies. Our current students fromoutside of Karachi either stay with their relatives or have acquired a place in the hostels available in Karachi. Some have rented out apartments (in groups of 4-6) on a cost-sharing basis.
You may look into areas closer to the university, such as Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, KDA, and PECHS,
when exploring your accommodation options. Availability of accommodation closer to campus will allow for a shorter and more convenient commute, making it easier for you to attend classes, participate in campus activities, and manage your daily schedule more comfortably.
Disclaimer:
We understand that safety and security are significant concerns when it comes to seeking accommodation.
It is the student’s responsibility to visit the facilities in person and ensure that they meet your
requirements, most importantly your privacy, safety, and security.
