Student review [#70488] for Business Administration
at Afe Babalola University - ABUAD

I’m in my final year studying business administration in ABUAD, and I can’t wait to leave!!! The founder of the school is such an authoritarian, and your rights will be outrightly trampled upon… People who go online to share the horrible experiences they had in the school are shut up through the founder’s influence as a well known lawyer in the country. Imagine this… the school sets the time table, and puts some days as lecture free days, of course, some days. You might not have classes but every student is expected to be out of their hostels and will not be allowed back into the hostel until 12 noon. So let’s say you don’t have ant class from 8:30 till 12 and you have a class by 1:30, you will be forced to go out of the hostel. And if you don’t have any class that day, you will be forced out too and won’t be allowed back into the hostel till 12 noon. The porters and guards are so rude, and they’re ready to physically abuse you if you as much as talk back to them, cause they are all yoruba people with archaic mentality. The 4 man male toilet are so few for the students that approximately 5 students are assigned 1 toilet.
Also, water does not get to the second and third floor, so people on the second and last floor have to go to the ground floor to get water. On top of this, as early as 6:30 am, a porter loudly starts telling everybody to leave their hostels, the speakers are really loud and it gets so annoying at that early hour.
ABUAD is a business and not a school at all. If your things are stolen, even thought there are cameras, it takes them ages before you get the appropriate attention. Also you can’t leave the school casually… you have to go through the VC who is not Always available, to get a permit, and you have to get a couple of other signatures too… your parents can not come into the school to see you, except they personally know someone high in the administration or something. Things on campus are expensive, and an average student needs between 40 to 50 thousand naira per week for feeding and upkeep… you have to wear the uniform College wear strictly.
You won’t get the worth of your money in ABUAD. Only very few classrooms have ACs and not always is the electricity in the colleges. Sometimes in my college, (SMS) all the toilets are shut and none is accessible to students!!! Really, go to PAU, American University of Nigeria or even a STATE school, but not ABUAD!
