 STUDENTS ROOM TO HOTELS

Students Commercialize Rooms On Holidays In Buea.

Students Commercialize Rooms On Holidays In Buea. Returning students in Buea are now commercializing their rooms on holiday period. This is a move to make some monies to sustain their stay in Buea during the next academic year. Students schooling and renting in the University of Buea and other institutions of learning in Buea are making use of their rents even when there are not around. They put their rooms at the sum of 3500 fcfa per night. Many persons visiting Buea now prefers to get connected to any of the students and get a room for 3500 FCFA per night than go to the hotel. Given that, hotels in Buea range as from 10,000 FCFA. It is a win for someone to get a student’s room.

UNDAUNTED caught up with a client of once used a student’s room. Here is what this client had to say. “I had to have a ten day stay in Buea, and since I am not having any relation in Buea, I had to lodge in a hotel. A friend of mine told me it is better to get to a student having a room in Buea and pay for the room than to go to a hotel. He now linked me with a student. We agreed of 3500 FCFA a night. This student indicated where the room was and where the key was. I arrived Buea, got the keys from where this student directed, checked into the room and it was furnished and ok for me. I then forwarded the 10 days rent to this student who was out of town and already on holiday. I have also connected other friends and it is cheaper than going for a hotel”. This is what this client had to say.

Indeed when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Under 10 days, this student was able to make 35,000 FCFA. This will be of much help and in order words a subvention to the parents sponsoring.
