Lebanese University to open branches in the north!

Recently, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Gebran Bassil announced on Twitter that the Lebanese Cabinet approved the opening of branches of the Lebanese University (LU) in Akkar, Baalbek, and Jbeil. The school of maritime studies will also open in Batroun.

Students living in the northern regions of Lebanon have to move to Beirut to go to college. So, they have to pay for rent and utilities. By opening branches in these regions, the students can remain living in their houses and avoid the hassle of paying extra costs.

Also, Beirut is overcrowded and the increasing number of cars is leading to high congestion. Opening campuses in other Lebanese cities will reduce the traffic jam in the capital and its suburbs.
