This is about the time when freshers and anyone displeased with where they have been putting up is in a rush to find a new hostel, rental or hall to stay during the next academic year. This process isn’t straight forward and that is why CampusBee is giving you a hostel guide covering various hostels in the different universities.
You have probably seen that nice hostel with the glass doors and balconies or that hostel where which will leave you with enough balance in your pocket which brings me to the point where you have to carefully consider the financial implications of any residence.
Before you say cheap is the best option, remember cheap places may turn out to be expensive say for example, the further the hostel from the University no matter how cheap it is will impact in higher transport costs. You surely won’t want to live in a places that would give delivery services like hellofood hard time finding your address when delivering something, even worse, it becomes tricky when giving friends directions. But that expensive Akamwesi Single might also be a burden to your sponsors.
This is where you have to choose between a fancy name or corporate dustbin, and by dustbin I mean the standard of living. The trash is where you throw away all the silver packs, rolex papers, beer cans and the hard edges of cassava.
What makes a dustbin is how many brands are thrown in and what rate they are thrown in, let’s say having a couple of airtime scratch cards for long without emptying it won’t make it corporate but a changing cycle of let’s say sodas, pizza, silver packs, liqour.
Please do not misinterpret this as the new way to show off, because your intelligence should tell you that am referring to the standard and cost of living in regards to the dustbin concept. Get a place whose standard of living is manageable and comfortable which means you should choose what you will handle considering that some rich chaps of Nakawa might not be comfortable with ‘cheap’ places.
Never forget to check for minor details like network coverage, security and culture of the place you intend to move into because these will influence how you will live and sometimes even affect the nature of your dustbin.
You’re now probably asking yourself how campusers achieve ‘corporate dustbins’. Fear not, because there are 3 ways to achieve this, hustle which is probably the commonest but hardest, begging and finally the ‘easy way’ which is available to those who have used silver spoons or campusers with people can put golden stuff into their pockets and all sorts of places.
Remember to choose wisely and live life with no regrets. If you think you have got it all, then live like a royal and if you’re one the wrong side of the hill, be comfortable and keep hustling.
I have even shared some dustbin p0rn with you.
