USP through your eyes

Are there things to look at and improve on them at the University of the South Pacific, Laucala Campus?

Apart from academic studies, there are some things observed that need special attention to improve for a conducive environment for studies.

In front of the main lower gate are potholes which passing vehicles during rainy days can splash water on students walking along the walk path. There is a need to fix the potholes to avoid inconvenience especially during rainy days.

A water pole behind the security guard house at the upper gate is a concern because of its current state. It can be a breeding ground for mosquitos which may contribute to the spread of deceases such dengue. There is a need to clean it regularly with proper drainage system to make the water flow through.

A lot of computers in the Computer labs are idle and need to be fixed. These can help to provide services for students to use the computers because it is believed that many students need to do their works on the computer labs. There are many computers in the Ware House lab which are seen not functioning to date.

It is interesting to see that in-house rules in the computer labs are not observed. This is seen in the Ware house computer lab which the rules are not observed and no one is there to make sure that the rules are observed by users to provide convenience for every student.

When looking for free computers in the lab, most are occupied and one thing interested to see is that most users are on face book and watching movies. Compared to those who need to complete assignments on time, there is need to do something worthwhile when using the computers in the computer labs. After all, everybody pays for the use of facilities.

Cleanliness is important for a healthy life. One of the practices seen in the Ware House lab is the littering and no proper rubbish bins in the room. There should be proper rubbish bins.

Walking in most of the toilet rooms is worse still. There is a need for regular and proper cleaning of the toilet rooms especially the male toilets. This is especially with the ones that are frequently used by students.

Going through the Science Faculty, there are lifts seen as idle for years and are not functioning. There is a need to fixed the so that they can be used as intended.

Having observed the mentioned, it is a concerned that these are looked at seriously. Life at USP can be enjoyed to the full if these concerns are considered for improvement.
