Fiji's University of the South Pacific faces criticism over accommodation failures, with the Student Council calling it a 'Student Welfare Crisis', per FBC News.

The council reported that many students are struggling to find suitable housing, as the university's current facilities cannot meet demand.

Meanwhile, national events like the Women's Expo and Hanua Games are set to take place in Suva, offering cultural and recreational opportunities despite the welfare concerns.
