The University of Peshawar is a residential university. The University has ten hostels,
six for males with a capacity of 1949 and four for females with the
capacity of 951. Beside these hostels, three new hostels are under
construction two for boys and one for girls with a capacity of 300
each. All these
hostels are situated at a walking distance from the teaching
departments. Females’ hostels are located in the vicinity of Jinnah
College for Women and the College of Home Economics.
Since the residence in hostel is a
privilege and not a right, therefore accommodation is offered to
the deserving students subject to the availability of seats in the
hostels.

The Campus II of the University of
Peshawar is located at Bara Gali on the Abbottabad – Nathia Gali -
Murree Road, at a distance of approximately 30 kilometers from
Abbottabad, having an altitude of 7700 ft above the sea level, and
spread over an area of 60 acres of land.
Bara Gali, one of the most
beautiful valley resort with dense forests, tall mountains and very
pleasant climate, is the Campus II of the University of Peshawar since
1965. It is the nucleus of our academic and research activities
particularly during summer vacations, i.e. Mays to Septembers. Each
summer around 20-25 International and National Seminars, Conferences,
Symposia, Workshops, Training courses, etc. are held at this Campus,
which are attended by more than a thousand national and international
participants. Thousands of our students from various teaching
departments/schools/colleges/centres visit Bara Gali each year both in
summers and winters, for various academic and research,and recreation purposes.

year the Independence Day is celebrated with traditional pomp and show.
The whole campus is illuminated at night. Hundreds of men, women and
children participate in the various events. Educational activities are
a matter of routine at Bara Gali during the summer vacations, giving
the University of Peshawar the unique edge that its academic activities
do not stop during the summer vacations.
