Netizens react to photos and videos of the pricey students' hostel

Several netizens were amazed by the prices of the rooms and took to social media to express their opinions. YEN.com.gh compiles some reactions below.

Kwabena Fosuhene said:

St. Theresa lived a selfless life, even to the point of sharing whatever she had with the vulnerable in society. The name should be removed quickly to be named after one as selfish as King Leopold ll of Belgium.

Rebecca Dwommoh remarked:

Why are people complaining? Some things are for some people only. Rent what you can afford. They are not forcing people to go and stay there, anaaa? The students who stay there don’t even look for jobs after school if their parents can afford them.
