USP through your eyes


This is one of the male toilets at the Ware House Computer lab. The lab is one of the biggest computer labs which students used most times. The toilets are very dirty and look as if no one is responsible to clean them regularly. There are no toilet tissues available for use. The rooms are very smelly and water is all over the floor. Someone can tell that there are no renovations or repair works done to the toilet rooms for a very long time. There are also graffiti all over the walling and doors. This is one example of some toilet rooms in some buildings except the Library. Most toilets visited are used by students  and they seem to be all same. They are not very hygienic.
The concern here is that this does not reflect the level of a leading university as the University of the South Pacific. It is unhealthy and unhygienic especially places that are frequently used by students. It poses the risk of diseases and sicknesses to students.
For a healthy life and environment, everyone must take responsibility. The users especially students must be responsible and take care of such facilities. They must have the sense of ownership and learn how to use and keep the toilets. They are very important and needed facilities that we need to use them with care. They are there to help and service all USP students.
The responsible authority of the University should carry out regular checks on such facilities. They must make sure that the facilities meet the required standard of the institution. They must make sure that maintenance is done and there must be provisions of toilet tissues, sufficient water, etc. This is to ensure that students enjoy their studies in a conducive and health environment.
