Although the university has six of its seven campuses within Addis Ababa (the seventh is located in Debre Zeit, about 45 kilometers away), it also maintains branches in many cities throughout Ethiopia. The government assigns qualifed students to these universities upon completion of secondary school. Students also attend other private colleges, such as Unity College.
