I too want to university to study engineering and at 22 years of age I was employed and no burden to my parents or the state. In fact I gave part of my salary to my parents as it was a lot of money for a poor boy getting his first salary. At 27 still in the university!

He might have failed exams hence this. Also medical degrees takes 5 years.

These undergrads in Sri Lanka are studying under immense pressure and stress. So authorities should do something to overcome these problems. In other countries there are lot sports and social activities among students.

Plus another 10 years because they are always out on the streets protesting against one thing or another all the time!!!

His parents must be devastated by his death whatever the cause may be. So many dreams must have been built around him. I hope they will be able to cope with this terrible loss. My heart goes out to his family.

Just because you were fortunate do not talk disparagingly of others.

The sports activities are protests and water cannon games. For social activities they practice being totally 'anti social'
