Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka Speciality : Biological Sciences
programme: Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry

The university is generally a great option, located in a semi urban area, easy access into the school facilities ( I can’t remember being lost in Awka even once).

First year is generally tedious for all science students as there is general science courses for all the science students to attend to lectures together, all of which are CBT Exams.

Biochemistry in UNIZIK like it’s informally called is an eye opener to what the body is made of, what could go wrong and possible solutions, it’s fascinating as the professors and lecturers in the department are well grounded and invested in the course.

The cost of living in Awka as someone that stayed in the north is very high and frustrating and accommodation currently ranges between 300 thousand naira to 800 thousand naira for a self contain and hostel space between 70 thousand to 250 thousand naira which always makes buying a hostel space a very serious work during the time.

Lastly, the school calender is one that doesn’t rush students so much that they’re squeezed and also don’t drag a semester so much that the students are burnt out and tired.
