SUVA (The Fiji Times / Pacific Media Watch): University of the South Pacific's journalism head

Dr Marc Edge, of the School of Language, Arts and Media, has just moved in to the new Suva Point Apartments he now calls home - and he  couldn't be happier with the locality and the standard.

He stayed at the USP Marine Lodge and noticed the complex was under construction and enquired about it last year.

Dr Edge then managed to get in touch with the landlord Sheren Kumar through a golfing buddy. Kumar gave Dr Edge a tour of the apartments which he absolutely fell in love with and was determined to reside in.

He returned home to Canada for holidays though and when Rup Investments Ltd had their open home on Sunday he was the first tenant who signed up. 

Dr Edge says the apartments are very nice, spacious and modern with all facilities needed for a modern person.

"I looked at many places but this by far is the best I have seen," he told The Fiji Times in an interview this week. "It's equivalent to where I come from everything is first class.

"I highly recommend this place for any new staff at USP. 

"It's only 15 minutes walk to upper campus and closer to lower campus," he said. 

Appliances are modern, everything you could dream of in a modern world, Dr Edge said of the Suva Point Apartments. He believes it is the best accommodation in town.
