Tribhuvan University: The Gem of Nepali Higher Education

Tribhuvan University (TU), established in 1959, is the oldest university in Nepal.  Including its many affiliates TU has a student body of about 300,000 students.  The University has an impressive offering of different courses and programs.  I visited the main campus in Kathmandu to check out the campus life. 

Students sitting on top of some academic building.  The combination of roaming students, scorched ground, and trash piles reminded me of a fraternity house on a spring afternoon.

The volleyball match between the Library Science and Education departments was well attended.

Students watch the match.
