THE INAUGURATION OF THE GRASAG DEVELOPMENT FUND BOARD AND THE LAUNCH OF THE 2,000 CAPACITY BED HOSTEL Source: Samuel K. Owusu Truthfully and frankly speaking, first degree has become a normal qualification in our contemporary world and as such it is gradually losing its relevance. This is due to the fact that, almost all Senior High School graduates nowadays proceed to tertiary right after completion in order to further their education. Due to that, some fresh graduates make a step forward to do their masters in order to stand tall among their peers.  As once said by Plato, “If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.” Swearing-in of the Board Members Throughout the years, graduate students in Legon have constantly faced severe challenges in terms of getting accommodation on campus for conducive environment to study.

How much would you welcome a map or a compass in that circumstance? That reminds me of the famous Michael Jackson's hit song, "Stranger in Moscow". How does it feel to be a stranger in Moscow, Russia ?. You will be alone and abandoned. You will wander in the rain and in the snow. You will be exposed to danger. You will mask of life feeling insane, swift and sudden fall from grace Undoubtedly, the University of Ghana is a community on its own and finding your way is not as easy as one may think.
