University of Calabar - UNICAL
speciality: Medicine And Surgery

If you’re an outsider planning to study at Unical, please be more studious than your contemporary from Cross River, be Street smart and be bold in taking risk, it has one of the best medical colleges

I loved the fact that it was a digital school where result where been access online. I loved that we where given opportunity to speak if the the higher up tried to extort from us and the fact that hygiene was the management top priority

Studying medicine in the University of Calabar back in 1996 was a great experience. I really enjoyed learning about the workings of the human body and we had some great lecturers. However, we had to travel between campuses for lectures from other faculties in year one. In our clinical years we also had to travel across town to the teaching hospital and by the time we moved to the hostel beside the hospital, the hospital had started moving to the permanent site so the travelling continued.
Nevertheless, I had so many great colleagues in my course and other courses who made great friends. Then we had thriving Christian fellowships whose programmes I really enjoyed although I never got to be part of any

University of Calabar has provided an environment for easy learning and assimilation. As a student of Genetics, from the moment I begun, I have felt a strong sense of community and was welcomed by my fellow students. The supportive and inclusive environment encouraged me to grow both personally and academically, leading to lasting friendships and a genuine sense of belonging.Unical stands out for its holistic approach to education, fostering academic excellence while nurturing personal growth and development. Set amidst a thriving multicultural community and dynamic urban landscape.

The University of Calabar has experienced lecturers in the coursed offered. My course, Bsc Physiology had 5 professors, 3 PhD Holders and the remaining lecturers were all Msc holders or Medical Doctors as the case may be. I was given both the Clinical aspect of Physiology and the practical laboratory experience needed to function in various this field. I would recommend this University for studies in Medical Sciences

Focusing on its academics, facilities, and student life, the University of Calabar is a public research university located in Calabar, Nigeria. It’s one of the most respected universities in Nigeria, and it’s well-known for its programs in agriculture, education, and engineering. The university has excellent facilities, including a modern library, state-of-the-art laboratories, and well-equipped classrooms.

However this is slowly facing away partly due to the mismanagement of the the school resources, non chalancy of the students and the overall poor educational system in Nigeria.

But it is worthy of note that the doggedness and unity of the students are very impressive coupled with the active involvement of the lectures to ensure the success of this students.

Overall i would recommend the school for anyone looking for affordable study in Nigeria

I am in my first year but I think my opinion is valid too. I used to hear so much about Unical’s Radiography program but I did not fully believe. When I got in later last year, I was gobsmacked by the facilities, and devices equipment we were shown at the Orientation. Then my classes started and certain Professors were MIA. I don’t think the Zoology professor ever showed up even for a day. Classes were jampacked and some students had to stand or sit on the bare floor. That was a huge shock for me and I was utterly perplexed. In terms of accommodation, there isn’t much of a problem for the boys as many boys prefer to stay off Campus thereby freeing up more space for those who intend to stay on campus. There isn’t one international person I’ve seen yet but I strongly believe we don’t have a lot of international students at this school. The career prospects are looking very bright as Radiography and Radiological sciences are leading the world of medicine today. They don’t call us the eyes of medicine for no reason. Would I recommend it to people I know? Yeah, I would, I’ve had a good time so far.

Well, I enjoy unical because of the buildings and surroundings. Radiography is a course not for the weak. MY lecturer is very strict but he really cares about our needs. The facilities in unical is top-notch, the hostels are not so great. The classrooms in my department are okay, also near and tidy. It’s a great school.

Well, I think this is one of the worst learning institutions there is. The academic standard is very poor, zero interest from lecturers to educate students, poor facilities, you’re better off learning on your own but in the end, it’s the certificate or degree that matter so. There’s nothing I learn about the school and definitely, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I think unical is a great school (kinda)😂 but lots of improvements could be done to make it even better and give students a better experience while they are there, like building larger classrooms to accommodate the student population and also more conducive hostels.
