A rather appalling image has surfaced on social media showing scores of alleged Gulu University students revising for their exams in a forest.
The images, whose source www.campusbee.ug cannot verifiedly put a finger around, tend to show clusters of the students coiled in different reading postures complete with books, tables and seats in strategic areas of the yet-to-be-identified forest.
In one of the pictures, a female student is seen leaning against a tree with her legs stretched over what appears to be an abandoned water-collection point. Used mineral water and soda bottles are littered all over the thicket, giving an impression of a regularly used pseudo-library.
Whether it is the search for serenity, love for mother nature or scarcity of decent revising structures that drives these students into the forest is not clear, but what seems clear is that they appear comfortable in their zone.
Gulu University is reputed as one of the best sciences-degree-awarding institutions in the country.
