First Experience

This week was the first I got to know University life in... being away from the house was something that delighted me before... however now that I know how different it is I start to get homesick... I start missing the city life... I am so not a country girl... Nizwa Uni is in the middle of nowhere and the students living there are just different... they're definitely country girls... the only thing I look forward to is the lessons and activities... so far the professors appear to be pretty good...
What I'm looking forward to even more is the new constructions and buildings that'll be built for the future plans of Nizwa Uni. Said to be ready in around a year... the uni will take place in a completely different area.
Another thing that amazed me was the technology. Every student gets an electronic card to be used around for almost anything... from buying things to ordering... what you do is fill the card like you fill up credit in your prepaid Hayyak.
Aside from that is the Library... they have ebooks we could read through the emails we'll get through the university... so we can take and read the books whether we're there or anywhere outside...
The other thing is the wireless connection available all around the area... so you can use your laptop anywhere in the Uni whether it be in or out and still have a connection.
I believe there's more to come... but these things are pretty promising already... ;)

LOL... yeah... shoulda mentioned that one... I like the food... there's a supermarket you can buy anything you want from all the same... the food's good... but the cafeteria place...or where the students sit... is too crowded and... err... ugly...
so nah... I prefer to sit outside

I really hope you are enjoying it there.

May I ask whether you are staying in Muscat and driving to Nizwa for your classes or are you staying in Nizwa full time; I am guessing in the dorms?

3anooda: I don't knooooow :'( :(... well...I got no scholarship so... I guess this is my punishment.

Lym:... it's nothing similar to what I expected here. The uni is good when it comes to its professors and courses... but when it comes to the students... they're pretty much (and I'm sorry to say this) uneducated. They're like country people.
as for where I live... yeah you guessed that.. in the dorms for now
