At exactly 8:18pm tonight my phone started blowing with whatsapp messages saying that there has been an attack at our university. As usual, the media was making up the news. The attack took place near the university, NOT ON CAMPUS. All students, staff and faculty had left by then. Everyone is safe. There were 2 groups who were fighting amongst each other and started firing. The police and the rangers had a search operation and it has been confirmed that the campus is safe and secure. Thank you to all family memebers who called me. I’m safe. We all are.

Until next time, Date: Monday August 31st 2015

Hey :)

My name is Fizza Chughtai. I am a HU pioneer and I’m majoring in CSD. HU stands for Habib University. It is a liberal arts and science college. This university is brand new. My batch is the second to arrive here. It is located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The pictures you see above are of my orientation group called the Thunder Cubs on the last day of Orientation. Shaheera and Osama are our orientation leaders. This past week I spent with these people has been incredible. Never had I even thought that I would be making friends and so many great memories in a single week. 

I am looking forward to the next 4 years I will spend here and I’ll be updating my blog as much as I can to share this experience with everyone. So stay tuned for more updates
