EUL–Students living far
from the university are facing
serious transportation
difficulties during the
examination period. Long
waiting hours, overcrowded
buses, and transport delays
are causing stress and
lateness among many
students trying to reach
campus on time for their
exams. The situation has
become more noticeable
during the current
examination session,
especially in areas located far
from the university campus.
Many students report leaving their homes very early in the morning to avoid missing their exams, while others struggle to find available buses because of the increased number of passengers. Some students even arrive late to examination halls after spending hours at bus stations.
“I left home at 5 a.m., but I still arrived late because the buses were full,” said Sarah Johnson, a second-year student. “Transportation has become an additional stress during exams.”
The transportation crisis highlights the daily challenges faced by students living far from campus and raises concerns about equal access to education during examination periods.
