The Qebli university campus has started the new academic year with 380 students, comprising 100 males and 280 females, according to Muhammad Iqbal Nasr, acting director of the campus. He stated that the administration received 443 requests for accommodation. The campus has been preparing for the new academic year since summer, with comprehensive maintenance work carried out on the residence and dining areas.

The maintenance work included painting and cleaning the rooms, as well as repairing the water and electricity networks. The university dining area has also been prepared to provide students with meals in the best possible conditions. Nasr highlighted that this year's new development is the allocation of a new building to be used as a secondary residence for female students, as the current residence is nearing its maximum capacity.

The Qebli university campus has a capacity of over 300 beds for female students and between 160 and 180 beds for male students. Nasr assured that all first-year students who are eligible for university accommodation and have been assigned to the Qebli campus will be accepted. The campus is also working on renting a secondary building to accommodate all new female students.

In addition to the accommodation and dining facilities, the Qebli university campus has been upgraded with new sports facilities. The local authorities have provided a basketball court, which is under construction, and a football field that is nearly completed. Nasr expressed his gratitude to the authorities for their support in improving the campus infrastructure.

The campus is also adopting a new system for students to access the dining area using smart cards, which was introduced last year and has proven to be effective in managing the flow of students and avoiding congestion. The campus administration is currently working on implementing a new phase of this system, which will allow students to book their meals in advance using mobile applications.

The new system will enable students to book their meals up to three days in advance and will help to reduce food waste by allowing the dining area to prepare the exact number of meals required. This system will also provide students with more flexibility, as they will be able to access the dining area at any time during the designated meal period.

The Qebli university campus is committed to providing students with a comfortable and supportive learning environment. With its upgraded facilities and new systems in place, the campus is well-equipped to meet the needs of its students. The campus administration is working hard to ensure that students have a successful and enjoyable academic year.
