PIC: Some of the first year students during orientation
The Polytechnic first year students are preparing to write their first ever end of semester exams commencing from September 16, 2019.

This has prompted them to relish their time at the Polytechnic in which they have waited for more than 12 months to step on.

A Bachelor of Business Communication student, Festone Matandika narrated that when he was in secondary school they were threatened about the level of studies at college, suffice to say, he has realized that, that is not the case.

 “My expectations when coming here was that the studies at this institution are of a difficult level but with my experience, I have learned that there is an abundance of time to study which makes the lessons a lot more easier.” Matandika explained.

As part of their preparations for the exams, he further stated that the absence of the continuing students who closed school earlier has also aided in their preparation for their exams scheduled for next week.

“There is more space in the library to study and it is more quite. Adding to that we are also able to find accommodation on campus,” he highlighted.

In addition, his fellow classmate Silaji Sandali explained that his experience at this institution has taught him new ways of viewing the day-to-day life.

“In the models we learn in class such as Communication Theory, we have learned new ways of viewing our social life such as interpersonal relationships.” Sijali observed.
