Saeed
Abdulla Al Qubaisi is the chairman and Mohamed Ahmed Balfaqeeh is the minutes
taker with Saif Mohamed Al Mansori and Eissa Sultan Alblooshi who are the
participants. And we are going to meet in Abu Dhabi Men’s College in the library
on Tuesday 19-03-2013 at 9:15 am to 10:15 am. We are going to discuss about the
college life:-
1.
Some students in the college come from outside of Abu Dhabi and we will talk
about more problems and what could the college provide to support students
socially.
2.
Parking problems are caused because some people don’t park right and there are a
lot of students in the college come by their own car and the parking is crowded
with so many cars so it is difficult to find a parking
space.
3.
The break timing between classes doesn’t fit the students and they don’t feel
comfortable.
4.
Sometimes the canteen is crowded that some students don’t find a place to sit
and sometimes students go outside the college to get something to
eat.
The
group needs a laptop, internet, pen and paper to discuss the problems of the
college life.
Minutes:-
At the beginning of the meeting the group talked
about the college life and what problems the students
face.
There are some students who come from outside of
Abu Dhabi and the college must provide something socially for these students and
the college can afford any help for them; maybe some students come from other
Emirates and there are some students who are far away from Abu Dhabi and
sometimes the weather get bad and there is a traffic
rush.
About the parking 60% of the students don’t park right and this is a problem for other
students, the college must provide buses for students so the parking won’t be
crowded; there are two solutions that the college will discuss; they get Mawaqif
for parking or if students who are friends come in 1 car it will be
better.
The break
time doesn’t suit the students; they must eat but the canteen is so crowded; a
few months ago there was a canteen opened between the J block and F block; this
canteen reduced the percentage of rush in the main canteen and students will
feel comfortable because at this time when you order something the order will
take between 10 to 20 minutes and like this the students will be late for their
classes.
The college must provide for students laptops
because the laptop in the college is too expensive for some students and the
students who are sponsored by a company get a laptop for free and it is not fair
for some students.
Recommendations:-
·
The
college could give the student who comes from out of Abu Dhabi extra free time
on weekdays so they can get to the college early and they can reach
safely.
·
Build multi-storey parking and expand parking in
the unused places.
·
The
college could provide buses for students to reduce the number of
cars.
·
Briefing the students on the right way to park and
the college should give the student who parks badly a fine to
pay.
·
The break
time between the blocks should be different from each other so that the students
can have their own time to enjoy their breakfast.
·
Re-open the other canteen which is at the CERT area
to reduce the rush of students at the main canteen.
·
Reduce the cost of laptops or offer a new laptop
for free to the new students.
