Eyewitnesses recounted the incident, describing how the unruly behavior of the students resulted in the destruction of school facilities. Amidst the chaos, several students offered their perspectives on the situation:

"It's disheartening to see such behavior from new students. All this kind of thing reduces charisma," remarked one student.

Another commented, "That is how Freshers do things."

Others expressed relief that the damage was contained to the ground floor. "They're lucky they weren't upstairs," one student noted.

The incident prompted reflections on the academic experience at the university, with some students recalling their frustrations with overcrowded classes and inadequate facilities. "Just what I wanted to comment... Those days of physics 111 and still learning nothing," shared a student, highlighting the challenges faced by students in certain courses.

Criticism was also directed at the university's administrative practices, particularly regarding class sizes. "That course was a stupid course. They'll gather an entire faculty in a class of 100," one student lamented.

Despite the damage caused by the rampage, some students saw the incident as a wake-up call for the university administration to address long-standing issues. "You can't blame them... you have a hall that should hold say 50 people, but you're combining 4 faculties for Bio 101 with more than 1000 people. Such a shame!" expressed one student, highlighting the challenges faced by students in accessing quality education.
