Benson Idahosa University - BIU Speciality : History
programme: History and International Studies

As a current student of International Studies and Diplomacy at Benson Idahosa University, my experience so far has been a journey of growth, academically, personally, and spiritually. It’s not always perfect, but it has been meaningful.

What I Like:
BIU offers a structured, faith-based environment that encourages you to be more than just a student. In my department, I’ve had thought-provoking classes that challenge how I view global issues and diplomacy. A major highlight for me is having lecturers like Mr. Abiodun, who is incredibly supportive and genuinely wants to see his students excel. He explains clearly, follows up on our progress, and creates a comfortable space for learning. I’ve also built great friendships and enjoyed student activities like ISD dinner nights, sports activities, and Suya night, which helps relieve academic stress.

What I Don’t Like:
Some areas could be better. The power supply can be unstable, and administrative processes sometimes feel slow or disorganized. Some rules are a bit too strict, and better communication between departments would help students navigate things more easily.

Would I Recommend BIU?
Yes! Especially for students who value structure, character building, and a faith-based education. BIU has its challenges, but it also creates room for growth, discipline, and deep thinking. If you’re looking for a place that develops both your mind and your morals, it’s a good choice.
