Mellanby hall
 This is the first hall of residence at the University of Ibadan, this hall was built In 1952. No other hall of residence was built before this hostel.
One thing people love this hall for is that they respect them for being the first hall of residence in UI and it is named after the first vice-chancellor of the great premier university.
Tedder hall
This hall is famous for one thing only. They are famous because their restaurants provide good food. The chef in this restaurant is professional and they cook tasty and nutritious food for students, academic staff, non-academic staff, and visitors.
Even when post utme candidates come to the school for the first time and they taste this hall of residence food, they always want more because it is very tasty and yummy.
Some UI students will never eat from any other hostel apart from tedder hall simply because they can cook tasty and nutritious food. You will agree with me that they can cook very well when you are opportune to taste their food and other halls of residence food.
Kuti hall
This hall is known to be the hall of the rich guys. They are called the hall of rich guys because it is believed that before you can live in this hostel, you must have a connection with the school authority.
Sometimes if you don’t have a connection, it is believed that once you have money to settle those who are in charge of the accommodation allocation, you can always live in this hall.
This notion is not always true because there are so many students who are given this hall without any form of connection or settlement. Not only that, they always have stable electricity. If other halls did not have electricity, this hall will sure have electricity.
The workers washing their toilets are paid by the university and they ensure that they carry out their work diligently unlike other halls which they don’t.
Sultan Bello hall
This hall is also one of the oldest halls in UI simply because the buildings are very old. You could see it from the way it looks. This hostel is also unique for something, it is the only Hall of residence that has a Dom in the whole of UI.
This Dom has been used for different events over the years. some people who are not in any way associated with the hostel do make use of the Dom to do their events.
Queen Elizabeth hall
This hall has very pretty girls and these girls always behave as if they have made it in life, if you are not rich, don’t near this girls hostel because they will ridicule you except you are an alphamale.
It is also this girl hostels that alhaji’s and rich guys will come to in the night to pick them up for night parties.
Obafemi Awolowo hall
