Students at the University of the South Pacific’s Solomon Islands(USPSI) Campus are thrilled with the newly opened facility, which they say fosters an ideal environment for their studies and enhances their overall learning experience.
The campus, dubbed as a “state-of-the-art facility” is the latest of the university’s newest facilities after the Covid pandemic.
Officially opening its door with much celebration last Thursday at King George East Honiara, many have praised the facility’s impressive features.
Elizabeth Enoch, a student undertaking a Bachelor of Arts, Double Majors Sociology and Land Management expressed her appreciation to this paper.
“This new campus is great. As a student coming here for my studies every day, I have learned a lot because of its setup. It is good for learning,” Enoch said.
Enoch highlighted how the new facility differs from the previous campus, noting that it better caters to her study needs.
“When I come here, I always feel like I am in the mood for studies and I find myself concentrating on my work,” she said.
Patterson White, also pursuing a Bachelor of Arts with Double Major in Social Work and Sociology shared his sentiments.
“This environment itself is conducive, it is spacious, it has enough computers for students to use and enough lecture theaters. This has boosted my learning and motivated me to study very hard,” White said.
He expressed gratitude to the funders for making the project a reality, calling it one of USP’s most modernized facilities. “Everything is here; much credit goes to the funders,” he emphasized.
As the campus becomes fully operational, White urged fellow students to take care of the facility.
“It comes back to the students to take ownership of this campus, this is not only for the current students but also our children who would be using it in the future,” he added.
The opening ceremony was attended by notable figures, including USP Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Pal Ahluwalia, Supervising Prime Minister Bradley S. Tovosia, Governor General David T. Kapu, and other local and international dignitaries.
