Here the day starts with the chirping of birds, some of which are native to the area. Exotic species such as Hilly 'Maya' deer, porcupine, squirrel, python, water monitor, and numerous reptiles and snakes wander the hilly forest in broad daylight. As the gloom of night falls, wild foxes begin to howl, and nocturnal wild boars and pole-cats move out of their nest to hunt. This is just a look at the amazing habitats that can be discovered on campus at the University of Chittagong. The university has the second largest campus in the world, with over 1,700 acres of mountainous and plain land.

Special Attraction " The Shuttle Train"


Picture: collected

In Bangladesh, this is the only university to have a Shuttle train. It's indeed part of a lot of special memories amongst students and a spectator to a lot of love history and friendships. Shuttle train is a youth icon. The journey takes on a new beauty, implying when it gets to campus. And when you're on a shuttle train, you experience a loud heavy metal song pounding the walls of the train. Noteworthy singers SI Tutul and Partha Barua were two of them who enjoyed beating. It's a complete nightmare for new entrants. The tired fresher struggled to breathe.

Life in Campus

Jhupri is the most outgoing part of the University of Chittagong. Some love stories start with this 'jhupri.' The students beat the table and sing it. It comes with weary sighs and exhalations of relief on a day of boring lessons. The tables are full of card players, and the students talking, laughing, and munching are meaningless. Adda themes are highly flexible, such as politics, philosophy, religion, literature, and so on. Life in the hall has a very different flavor. There are 10 halls for the male and the other for the female. Most of the students live in the city of Chittagong. Indoor sports, group talks, watching TV and adda keep everybody occupied in the hall.

Solo guitar and violin are friends. Groups can be seen in the Shaheed Minar or Central Field in the middle of the campus night. Life in the living rooms has a quite different taste. There are ten halls, seven for male and one for female. Most of the students live in the city of Chittagong. Indoor sports, community conversations, and adda keep everyone in the hall busy. Solitary guitar or violin is a companion of mine. Groups are seen in the Saheed Minar or Central Field in the middle of the night of the campus.

N.B: Wherever you go for a tour, do not leave dirt in the vicinity but a specific place. Keep nature clean.
