Students live amid garbage

“They just throw the garbage out the window”, Maria said about her campus colleagues at Leu.

Maria, who refused to give her full name, has been living in the Leu campus for two years now and found out about the garbage problem few days after her arrival.

In the Regie campus, trees are adorned with papers, personal belongings, stocking and whatever the inhabitants chose to toss out. Loredana, a first year journalism student, has lived in quite a few dorms since the school year began.

“People throw garbage out the window just because they are too lazy to get up and throw it to the garbage can,” Loredana said. Although the campus itself may look clean in the front, the backyards have become junkyards.



At the Fundeni campus, things are just as bad. Laurentiu, a freshman noticed the piles of trash that gathered in front of his dorm from his first weeks there. “The trash doesn’t seem to disappear. I suppose it isn’t gathered as often as it should be,” Laurentiu said.

Beyond the estetic problem, garbage is dangerous to students’ health. It attracts insects and rodents. Mosquitoes, flies and rats are bacteria carriers and disease bringers. Students report having seen rats near the dorms at Leu and elsewhere.

So the problem isn’t only as to what the University or Campus administration can do, but to how the students can keep the place clean as well.
