Surroundings play a vital part in your growth — as a student, citizen, and human being. We pride ourselves on making Zimbabwe School of Mines a safe, comfortable living space for you. This strong community and  environment is designed so that every step of the academic journey, you can feel confident and empowered to explore who you are. This campus will be your new home. That’s why we work to make it a place where you’re comfortable. Where you can connect with others,  a place you can’t wait to come back to. We’re here to make you feel at home.

At ZSM, we not only embrace all, we embrace you for who you are. You will find a  culture of inclusivity and respect as the perfect setting to settle in, grow immensely, and go forth from. ZSM’s diverse community and its place “in and of” the country create a wealth of opportunities for you to learn, grow and pursue your interests. ZSM’s Residential Life activities can help you to feel at home and build a fulfilling campus experience.

It takes a lot to call a new place home. We’re proud that many ZSM Students see this campus as so.
