The welfare of the students in the University is considered crucial to the well-being of the entire University community. The University has an office of the Director of Students Welfare Services. The Director of Students works in conjunction with the Dean of Students in all matters affecting students’ life and welfare. Students are encouraged to participate in as many activities as possible in order to make their non-academic life fully worthwhile.

In conjunction with relevant organs of the university, the office of the Director of Students Welfare Services also co-ordinates activities that affect students’ health, accommodation and catering, sports, career and placement services including activities of the Student Organization of Maseno University (SOMU), student clubs/societies/associations.

The location of Maseno in a rural environment makes the provision of accommodation a critical component of Student Welfare. In this regard therefore the University has been quite focused on increasing the number of accommodation facilities to allow as many students as possible to have an opportunity to stay on campus
In this regard, the University has constructed self-catering accommodation units which will not only curb the accommodation crisis but also encourage responsibility and discipline in students. Apart from the daily programme of lectures, this new accommodation concert will enable students to run their own schedule for their study and meals respectively.

The University has a full-fledged Counseling Unit which caters for all students who may require counselling. Three trained counsellors support the services of the Unit.
