University of Ghana - UG Speciality : Politics
programme: Political Science and Philosophy

Studying at the University of Ghana, Legon, is honestly an experience on its own. The campus is huge, very green, and super calm and you’ll always find a nice spot under a tree to relax or study. The Balme Library is one of the most popular landmarks, and it’s perfect for both serious study time and group discussions. Not to talk of the gorgeous fountain square behind the library that offers a serene atmosphere when passing through to class.
Academics here are solid. There are plenty of programs to choose from, and most of the lecturers really know their stuff and are always ready to help students with whatever problems they face; their offices are always open to students. Some courses can be challenging, but that’s part of the UG experience. What I like most is that the school pushes you to think for yourself and be creative, not just memorize notes. What I dislike is the lack of adequate accommodation on campus. The student population is huge yet the number of hostels does not reflect that. However, there are lots of options for accommodation outside the campus itself.
Outside the classroom, life at UG is lively. There are countless student groups, events( you have got to experience Pent Hall Week at least once in your life ), and sports activities, so it’s easy to make friends and find what you enjoy. The cultural diversity on campus also makes it a very welcoming place with people from all parts of Ghana, international students from other African countries and other continents. UG, has been fun, UG is fun even through all the highs and lows, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here.

university of Ghana is one of the best universities in Ghana and i enjoyed every bit of my study in the school. I appreciate the systems putted in place for learning though the classes are always overfull.
