The Moi university hostel and accommodation management is doing
commendable job in ensuring students accommodation needs are met to the latter.
The hostel accommodation fees are affordable enough and they have thrived in
ensuring the sanitation and general conditions of the hostels is splendid.
The accommodation system unlike in the past now allows the
privately sponsored students to book rooms in the university halls of residence
hence enabling the students to cut extra costs.
Despite these great efforts from the accommodation
management and the university at large we still have an accommodation crisis as
we all know the university has implemented a double intake system hence a high number
of students are enrolled per year and as a result the hostels cannot
accommodate the increasing student population.
Even worse is that we are only three lots in a given session
that is per semester and the situation is already worse, what if the system
required all the four lots to be in session at a go?. It would be disasters in
terms of accommodation.
The university need to take an action to deal with the
accommodation crisis, the can start by completing some of the hostels that were
left unfinished that is hostel M and alleged hostel I which its foundation was
started and currently it has turned into a bush. They can also amend the double
intake system so that the available hostels can manage the student’s
population.
The university must deal with the accommodation crisis
immediately as we are suffering. Some have to commute from town to school
because the nearby rentals are full and those lucky enough to get them have to
reside in high numbers of up to five in a room because they are really
expensive they cannot meet the costs.
