University of Calabar - UNICAL Speciality : Accounting & Finance
programme: Accounting

The University of Calabar is a commendable institution with a rich diversity and a conducive environment for pursuing various disciplines. I appreciated the multicultural nature of the school, which provided an opportunity to interact with people from different backgrounds. Additionally, the challenging academic environment motivated me to push myself further and grow in my field of study.

However, the university faces significant challenges with infrastructure. The number of study venues is inadequate, as the student population far exceeds the available spaces. This often made attending classes stressful and inconvenient.

Despite these challenges, I believe the University of Calabar provides a solid foundation for personal and academic growth, and I would recommend it to prospective students who are willing to embrace the challenges and maximize the opportunities it offers.

The University is not for weak people, neither is it for people that do not have enough cash to spare. I liked the fact that the lectures were time spaced and not choking and there were many places in the school where students could explore, e.g. Cameroon. I didn’t like how the lecture halls were dilapidated at the time i was there, not enough lecture halls, some courses had to share lecture hall because of this lack.
If i were to rate the university i would rate it at 4/10, and i would not recommend the Faculty i was in.

The University has a lot of flaws, ranging from the bad WiFi to the terrible lecture venues and the unkept library. The lecturers don’t do much when it comes to student understanding courses. They just teach and don’t bother explaining.

The University of Calabar is one of the best universities in Nigeria and can offer direct entry through jupeb and pre-degrees. The infrastructure is good. The space is clean with a cafeteria and hygienic bathrooms. Overall the college is good and well maintained.

Final year student here!. To be honest, it’s not a poor school; rather, it’s just mediocre and has the potential to be much better. The school is operated by extremely unreliable individuals, and money is frequently misappropriated and embezzled by these individuals, with occasionally negative effects on the students, programs, building structures, and amenities. However, it’s a well-liked school that attracts students from the neighborhood. Student life is always active in Calabar since it is a beautiful city with wonderful residents and a vibrant environment. Since accountants are required in all occupations and walks of life, the job prospects for my field of study are currently very good.

UNICAL is a messed-up institution. It’s as though the instructors go out of their way to irritate pupils. There are more professor offices than there are lecture halls.
Due to a scarcity of venues, students are crammed into hallways during sessions.

We have few practical gear, pay practical dues every semester, yet there is no new practical equipment.

The school just enlist students into it without even caring about what they want to study for e.g me studying accounting left to the teachers it’ll be very smooth cause they turn up for classes and make sure to get everyone in sync too but now the university as a whole will be your hindrance to a smooth education…the university has so many payment schemes for students which are unnecessary like you have to register for your courses at the bank even exams you’ll still pay in the bank before you can sit for exams and since this whole exercise is carried out by the students of the school the school’s microfinance bank is usually filled up daily cause even till the end of the semester some people don’t get to pay these dues set up by the school and it’s so annoying….. wish they could focus More in teaching than making up excuses to collect money from students everytime.
