The issue of how students are accommodated in the township i.e Ago-Iwoye, Oru, Ajebo Awa, Ilaporu, Ijebu-Igbo, Ijebu-Ode, Sagamu and their environs is left to the students to solve with little or no assistant from the school authority.
The fellowship assist students to secure accommodation as much as it is possible in order to prevent new students from falling into the hands of shylock landlords, caretaker, estate managers and people of questionable characters who may want to exploit new students or even introduce them to cultism under the pretence of assisting them to secure accommodation. You may contact the fellowship president for assistant in this regard.

DREAM KILLERS on campus.

The followings are things you must run away from in order to make your dream come true
*Associating with cultist or cult groups

CULTISM
The war on cultism is a continuous one in O.O.U and the University authority and student Union are vigorously fighting it. Thank God at least it has been put under absolute control. This fact, notwithstanding there is still some cult group around, so you need to be cautious. Do not ruin your career. SAY NO TO CULTISM

For everything, there is a purpose. Your purpose in coming to Olabisi Onabanjo University is best known to you alone. Throughout your period of study here, remember that a good name is better than silver and Gold. Do not soil the good name that your parents and families have laboured vigorously to build. Align your purpose to the perfect will of God for you. Already He has a special package for you. If you derail for any reason, it will obviously be because you decided to ignore your creator in the days of your youth (Eccl 12; 13) .
In conclusion, fear God and His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. CASOR congratulates you and welcomes you to this campus as you sigh O.O.U. AT LAST
