Chittagong University's collection of about 350,000 books, and over 40,000 bound journals is housed in a 56,700 square feet (5,270 m2) library built in 1990.

[6] Chittagong University Museum was established in 1973 with artifacts from the History Department including fossils found amongst the Nasirabad hills.

After April 2011 clashes between five compartment-based gangs left at least eight students injured, the university expelled 11 students and banned all types of compartment-based organisational activities, including sticking posters, leaflets and graffiti on the trains.

[11] Eleven years after that incident, German artist Lukas Zeilinger, accompanied by Livia, his wife, and Arup Barua, a teacher at the Department of Dramatics of the university, painted the carriages once again.

It works to provide free medical care and pathological examination for university students, faculty and staff.

Apart from this, free medical care is also provided to the family members of teachers and staff.
