What I dislike or find challenging:

Overcrowding: Large student population can affect class sizes, attention from lecturers, and facility access.

Infrastructure Issues: Some lecture halls, labs, and hostels are old or insufficient.

Wi-Fi & Tech Limitations: Internet access can be inconsistent on campus.

Overall: Makerere University is a top choice for quality education and networking in Uganda, but students need patience with infrastructure and administrative challenges.

Makerere University is one of the prestigious universities in Africa and the world at large, every child in Uganda growing up dreams to attend this mighty institution.
During my stay at this university, i loved it there: the lecturers are top notch and are focused on helping and nurture young talents and develop their careers not forgetting the social capital.

Makerere University is not a good university when it becomes on labour recruitment since there is rampant corruption at the human Resources Directorate of makerere University such as I possess a first class degree and Masters Degree in Accounting and finance and I was not recruited to be a Graduate Teaching Assistant yet I know some of my friends whom I studied with and obtained pass degrees and pass masters degrees and now they are Graduate Teaching Assistants at Makerere University simply because they have connections at the university administration.My recommendation is to the Human Resources Directorate of makerere University to be fair in labour recruitment at makerere University.
