New Arrivals

The 500 some lower six students are now here and making their presence known. For one thing there was a noticeable increase in the noise level and where walking from one end of the campus to another used to take you five minutes, now takes 10-15 mins thanks to the now congested, narrow hallways.



Every other class was overflowing and even the hall was so packed that students were spilling outside (an dey building extra office eh...). Sure, they could easily split up the large classes, but its going to be a sight to see when teachers start looking for empty classrooms to teach their extra groups in. Who knows, maybe they have it all under control.

The new students have already acquainted themselves with the lack of eating area situation, evident in the amount of students sitting on the steps, catwalk, upstairs, in this corner, underneath which bush, here there and everywhere.

Props to the administration though for ensuring that all the rooms were labelled to prevent 5 million people (it did really feel so eh..), both upper six and lower six from asking, "wey G1 dey, wey M2, wa name T1 and which lab is the bio lab" But seriously, if the whole multigraphics sign replacement every two years ting not working out, how about a floor plan (jus tack up sum'n in Microsoft word or paint) or if that's too much still a mini-tour on induction day? Surely that would help the situation.

Rent-A-Cop really tried to make a good first day impression though. He went combing the school this morning admonishing any nearby student to stop loitering, even clearing away chairs students were sitting in and presenting them with an ultimatum, class or library. However if this is really going to be enforced, now is a good time to point out that not everyone feels the library is the best place to study and that there should be alternate places to sit comfortably.

Man About College also noticed some rather interesting fashion statements but that's for College Rocks Fashion to deal with.
