About TF Hostel

James Topp Nelson Yankah Hall is a privately owned hall of residence of Teachers Fund Properties Ltd, a subsidiary of Teachers Fund of GNAT. The hall's name was given by the University of Ghana; it is popularly known as TF Hostel.

Located on the University of Ghana, Legon campus along the main Atomic Road, the hall comprises four blocks joined together by a tunnel, enclosing a large central court. It was built to meet the diverse needs of the University of Ghana student population and offers students the opportunity to live in a community setting.
