A (tertiary institution) Campus is a land of absolute freedom from all forms of parenting. A universal set with various sets, subsets and loads of elements. A land of mysteries and misery. A land of rising and falling. A place where though your starting matters but it does not matters as much as your finishing. A place of love and heart breaks. A place where religious, political and financial giants are nurtured. A land of no return for few unfortunate ones.
