''Truth Stands,even if,there be no public support. It is self_sustained "

Commonwealth hall famously known as ''vandal city and the city on the hill" within the university of Ghana community,has constantly maintained to be one of the "crème de la crème" traditional halls of the premier university of Ghana.

It was established in the year 1956 to consummate Ghanas entrance into the Commonwealth league of nations.

The hall,formerly called "Third hall in the year 1956 was officially renamed Commonwealth hall in 1957.

It is one of five(5) other traditional halls-Volta, Mansah Sarbah,Akuafo,and Legon halls established to house nationals at an affordable user price.

But unfortunately,the condition of beds in the famous "Hall on the Hill"-Commonwealth,leaves much to be desired.

The trend of events in the hall, has led quite a sizable number of vandals sleeping on worn out cohesion mattress.

Indeed, taking into cognisance the state of beds in the other traditional halls of residency in the university of Ghana, it has become a solidify norm and certainly, a yearly convention for that matter, for beds specifically, worn out mattress to be replaced with new once.

However,in the case of the vandal city,it's an esoteric and enigmatic situation.It has been several years and still counting.But students of the hall continue to be subjected to what can be described as a pitiful scenario.Vandals as students of the hall are affectionately referred to,have been compelled to sleep on worn out mattresses..... And with these mattresses, most vandals, virtually sleep on the bedmates rather than a mattress because, those mattresses have been overly used over the years without replacement.

It presents a speechless situation when you take a cursory perusal of the beds in L Block, J Block, M Block and K Block....The unresting fact has been that, they've been ironically referred to as being old as Methuselah himself.."hahaha... Sad!

And not forgetting the fact that,a large chunk of beds in Commonwealth Hall are still wood-like despite the fact that,such beds were supposed to be changed and replaced with metallic-type beds.But such is what we still have in Commonwealth-wood-like beds deteriorating faster at the speed of light.

And sad enough,the cost of maintaining such worn out beds and malfunctioning wardrobes is unfairly levied on the poor and helpless students."Hmmmm...

Talk less of the starling fact that, Commonwealth boys are exposed to aggravated health hazard.The underlying fact being that,after a manic academic day,one can't lay down comfortably to rest coupled with traumatic stress of not getting a sound rest.And surely, this according to professional psychologist comes with a rooted repercussions to the immediate healths of students.

Well, it's high time management and leadership of the hall come to the rescue of this bottlenecked issue bedevilling and troubling a sizable number of the hall members.As the current outplay of this event downplays the hard earned reputation a hall that has been "Recta Sapere'' (outstanding among pears).And equally,being at the melting point of grooming top_notch leaders and seasoned gents across the globe of all endeavours.
