I was to remember my first day at freedom university for a long time. One arrival on campus, I expected to be met by some stales students ( as was the practice in my secondary school) but every student was new like myself. I asked the way to Grant Hall but no one could tell me.
I asked a number of other questions about issues that bothered me, such as where and how to pay the fees, the way to the dining hall and so on, but no help was forthcoming. So in the midst of so many people I am alone, I mused to myself. The prospect was not in the least cheerful and all the elation I had at gaining into a renowned university began to disappear.
Then, so if propelled by an u known benevolent force, I walked a little bit down the corridor in the direction of a notice board at which some ten young men and women were peering. For want of something to do, I decided to stop and look at the notice board.
Alas! I had opened on the key to all the riddles that had dribbled me since I set foot on campus that morning. On the board there was a big campus map in which I was able to locate Grant Hall and other places of interest, there were details of the various activities lines up for the three days of orientation for freshmen and a comprehensive list of those offered admission into various courses.
The importance of reading notice boards and hand bills is very necessarily if one is to be well informed about places and events in the university and the world in general.
