Living in Wa
University town at the edge of the savannah
Wa is remote by southern Ghana standards — but that remoteness has its own appeal. The University for Development Studies (UDS) campus brings intellectual energy and young people. The Wala traditional area gives the town cultural depth. And the surrounding savannah landscape offers a stark, beautiful contrast to the forested south.
Kpaguri is the main residential area near the university — student hostels and staff housing dominate. Wa Central has government offices and the market. Rents are among the lowest in any regional capital, making Wa genuinely affordable for anyone posted here.
