It feels both emotional and illuminating to reflect on my journey as a final-year student in Bowen University’s Mass Communication department, currently in my last semester. I wasn’t the friendliest person when I was first admitted. I liked to keep to myself and remain in my comfort zone. However, I quickly realized that remaining reserved wouldn’t work for long after I started studying mass communication.
There is a lot of interaction in the course. I was forced to adjust to the numerous group projects, frequent presentations in class, and public speaking engagements. I progressively gained confidence as a result, particularly in speaking in front of an audience and interacting with others. This self-assurance improved not only my academic performance but also my interpersonal relationships at home and in other spheres of my life.
Nevertheless, there were difficulties along the way in my academic career. I had to humble myself and seek assistance from my classmates in certain particularly challenging media-related courses. This experience taught me the value of community and support in the learning process in addition to teamwork.
Now, regarding Bowen University itself, I would say that I have mixed feelings. There have been ups and downs, and while the school has its share of annoying rules that can be frustrating at times, when I look at it from a different perspective, I can see how those rules were put in place to instill discipline and help us become more responsible people.
Would I recommend Bowen to someone else? Yes, especially to those who are searching for a school that emphasizes character development in addition to academics.
