A city to rival Metz-Leonid State University? Lenakha begins efforts to transform into a university city.

------------------------------
June 17th, 5653
------------------------------
Last year, the Local Committee of Lenakha announced their intent to transform Lenakha from a city dominated by eco tourism, and a hub for cultural arts, into an educational university city, one to rival Metz-Leonid State University. The city has always enjoyed a friendly rivalry with Metz-Leonid, often being joked as the little sister of Metz-Leonid. And it seems the rivalry continues on as Lenakha looks to form a challenger to MLSU. While the city has often not received much national attention, mostly only receiving such attention during the Bargas Chenpo when it suffered light contamination and being a hub for refugees to get out, it seems Lenakha is looking to make a mark for itself. As such, the Local Committee announcing it's intents to transform the city has been a surprise, but a welcomed one.

As such, city funds are being used to begin constructing Lenakha State University (LSU), which is approximately expected to be accomplished in late 5654 should no delays occur. LSU is expected to focus on the health of humanity. Not in specializing in countering diseases, but in mental and psychological health. While LSU will of course, offer other courses, aspiring social workers, therapists, and psychologists will find a strong home in LSU. But you can't build up a university city by slapping classrooms across the city. It requires investment and infrastructure. Walkable cities has been a staple of urban life for a long time, but it isn't enough to foster the creation of a university city. As such, libraries and public archives will receive a boost to funding. Creating easier methods of learning is sure to incentive students to pick Lenakha. Alongside this, public squares. Students have a few tasks. One, is to study. Obviously. Two, is to live life. Three, is to form ideas to shape the future. As such, debate squares will be created in public squares in Lenakha. After all, where else can you form ideas to shape the future, if you cannot share those ideas aloud with the world? 

Furthermore, housing. While yes, students living permanently in Lenakha can simply get their own living space, or stay with their family, what about those who are simply attending LSU for studies? That is where dormitories come in. These will be constructed around LSU to ensure you don't have to hike 15 minutes to get to class, and ensure its close enough for leisure and practicality. The dorms will be focused on ensuring adequate comfort for students, and ensure that they can actually live life. Because sure, we can force students to dedicate their entire time to studying, but then are they not slaves? Happy students are good students, and good students live life. Not stress over deadlines or fears. LSU will cooperate with the People's Committee of Education (and subsequently, the Sub-Committee of Student Housing, and the Sub-Committee of Housing, Urban and Rural Development from the People's Committee of Human Development). The dorms will provide a comfortable roof, and a comfortable way to socialize and live life.

The Little Sister of Metz-Leonid will certainly be changing how it's perceived nationally, going from a lovely valley city, to a city with a strong focus on humanism, the human spirit, and the basic right that every Xsampan deserves; the right to live.
