University of Cape coast (ucc) as jokingly referred to as university of constant confusion is among the highest ranked universities in Africa. Due it academic excellence, students usually see it to be tough and difficult to pass through. Personally, I was warned and well advised by friends when I told them that I have gained admission to UCC. This made me a bit scared and also developed some perceptions about the school. However, I developed some love for the school within my first year at the university and this made me continue to stay there even after first degree. The school taught me the meaning of excellence and how to earn it. I met good professors who think about students and provide them the opportunity to learn not just in classroom but also outside the classroom. I became fully aware of myself and how the world operates. Some courses were a bit difficult, especially economics courses however, I did very well in those courses because hard work. Thought there are other challenges including limited infrastructure, but UCC has changed and continuously changing the lives of many graduates who pass through the system.
