Tribhuvan University hostels: While many buildings are unlivable, the livable ones are captured by non-students

Problems have always plagued Tribhuvan University (TU) , Nepal’s oldest university. It has problems with its policy, infrastructure, management, course and the list goes long.

Lately, a new problem has come to light – its hostels. Most of the hostels meant for students who come from distant places are in a dire state and deemed unlivable. Those that are habitable are being occupied by those who do not study, leaving the ones in need looking for more expensive options elsewhere.
