{{After decades of accommodation shortages at NUR, a sustainable solution is yet to be reached as the university in collaboration with Social Security Fund and Real Constractors is building new hostels with a capacity to accommodate 1200 students.}}<\/p>\n
These three new buildings are situated next to the new ICT laboratory that was recently inaugurated by president Kagame and each bloc will have capacity to accommodate 400 students.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese hostels have come at the right time owing to the fact that the University is accommodating beyond its capacity and students are sharing a bed. But once the new hostels are in place we hope the pressure to reduce on both students and the university,\u201d MUHIMA Christopher the NUR guild president said. <\/p>\n
He further said that the facilities will help students improve on their research as they will be staying near the library, classrooms and laboratories.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is projected education performance will improve as students who have been staying outside the campus will now be on campus near all academic facilities like the ICT laboratory, classrooms- Batima central, the NUR library and other recreation facilities on campus\u201d.<\/p>\n
Nambajimana Marien a final year student in the faculty of Arts, Media and Social Science expressed appreciation to the university management, government and donors for their efforts in putting up the complex saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cThese hostels have come as a solution to the problem that has for years been experienced by the university community.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccommodation costs outside the campus are expensive ranging from Frw10, 000-Frw60, 000 which most of us can\u2019t afford. We hope that the cost will be fair and moderate for all students to afford.\u201d<\/p>\n
She told our reporter that these hostels will at large end the insecurity problems encountered by students who stay outside the campus, \u201cTheft is rampant outside the university as thieves regularly break into students \u201cGhetto\u201d during class hours and in the night when students are in the auditorium or in the library.<\/p>\n
\u201c Also for the girls who stay outside are always at a security risk when living the campus late in the night from their study and these hostels will solve all these inconveniencies\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n
The difference these hostels have is that they will have supermarkets, a medium entertainment hall, and cafeterias as told by Mr. Sinzi Tharcisse NUR director of estates at the university.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to plans, these hotels should be handed to the NUR by the constructors on 15th October this year to be availed to students this coming academic year due to start on 31st October.”<\/p>\n
\u201cNegotiations are underway between NUR and SSFR to equip the complex with all necessary beddings and furniture in the rooms,\u201d Sinzi told our reporter in a telephone interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
