Faculty of Arts at 5pm.


A mixture of cold and the warm cooling air breeze diminishing in the air is felt as the sun goes to sleep. It is 5 pm sharp -a rush hour time. After along tiring and exhausting day of boring lectures with only a lunch break for a relaxation, many students on day program at the faculty of arts are ending the day while this hour is the beginning of lectures for some. Do not expect to find the department offices especially that of mass communication open and any single lecturer of mass communication around as these people strictly adhere to the university provision of closing offices at 5 pm.
In every corner of the compound there are small groups of students engaged in whatever suits their moods, class work discussion, gossip and a good laugh. Seating areas that are highly on demand are the stone slabs that welcome you as you enter faculty of arts. The idlers find this place a perfect place for staring while the tired one will find it a relaxing place- whatever the reason, the stone slabs at faculty of arts sell like hot cake at 5pm.
It is a time for getting in touch with the working class students who can be evidently noticed by their neatly pressed shirts, classy turn up trousers and shiny shoes. It is a good time to see who has a job and one can possibly tag along for contacts to get a job or other benefits.
The printers and their operators seem very busy at this time as various students crowd the place awaiting to be served. It's not clear whether these are only evening students but my guess is that most of them are. The day students are mainly dependants who would rather copy their notes manually by writing. And if you are looking for real variety in fashion the place to be is faculty of arts at 5pm. The rush in of trendy dressed up female and male students will update your style choice. There is a wide range of fashion, cooperate, beach, dance hall, African ‘bitengi’ down to causal out-fits. The rich mixture of fashion gets more interesting with the various hair-dos of female students. So, are you in search of a place to feast your eyes with fashion and new trends, then look no further, faculty of arts at 5pm is the place to be!
