Bamenda—The newly created University of Bamenda began taking shape this week after the creation of its first schools. ENS Bambili, the college of education previously run by the University of Yaounde I was turned over to the new university. So too was the newly created college for technical education teachers, which paved the way for the coming university. It is now clear the new institution would be Anglo-Saxon, the second of the kind in the country after the university if Buea. There is still speculation over the site of the university even though it is widely assumed that the main campus would be at Bambili, outside Bamenda city. Things would be clearer when a vice-chancellor is appointed. Right now, things are run by the minister of higher education, said ENS officials. The university has been long at coming but it has been greeted with a lot of excitement across the region. North West, with some of the country’s best colleges, sends thousands of students to other universities in the country annually. The University of Bamenda would cut cost and open doors for students who could not afford further education out of the region. “I cannot tell how relieving this is,” said Mbih Daniel, who has two children at the University of Yaounde II. “The cost of keeping those children out there is too much. I would not have to spend so much for the other children.” Many have described the decision to create the university as a political ploy ahead of the presidential election next year. It came with several other promises to the region, include road and power infrastructure. But for many ordinary people, none of that really counts. “The good thing is that we now have a university,” said Ngeh Peter, a resident of Bambili. “It does not matter what the motive is. We have been waiting for a long time.”

It is good to know that, the University entrance is only for HICM and Health Science. In all the State Universities entrance is conducted for professional school like ESSEC Douala.
The University needs to do something concerning students housing in Bambili. Landlords are doing just to their faviour. Prices and types of rooms should be negotiated by the University. They were happy for the University to come to Bambili because of their selfishness to increase house rents. They don't inform student before they go on holidays but on their arrival things change. Some students have poor parents and have just told them what was paid last academic year. Please, the University authority should do something.

The VC should help us with the problem of housing in Bambili. Landlords are increasing their rents every day in Bambili.

the university of bamenda is timely i accept but the problem is that bambili alone might not be able to contain the university. i suggest that the university spread its tentacles to otherb divisions in bamenda like bangui, acha,santa etc etc
