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.

I’m on my 300 level of study at Unical for medicine and surgery right now. The University of Calabar is a very intriguing institution, however its shortcomings seem to overshadow its positive qualities. It’s a great place to study because the surroundings are so tidy. Since there aren’t many lecture rooms for students at the school, the university must truly pay attention to their demands by making sure that facilities are being developed so that courses will be more comfortable. We all know that my program (Medicine and Surgery) is highly demanding on students, even though it occasionally offers a little bit of interest. Majority of the university’s lecturers, in my opinion, give the best to impact into students, whereas some simply turn a blind eye to students. The extracurricular activities that are offered at school are really intriguing, and they constantly introduce you to new people and allow you to interact with them.

I’m a student of UNICAL studying medicine and surgery. This institution is a high-rated one for my course. Though lecture halls aren’t enough to accommodate students I feel if this need is met and proper security UNICAL will be a better place to study.

I don’t really like the lecturers they don’t really teach well, and the lecture halls are choking. The hostels are not so good, the labs are poorly equipped, and the prices for the registration of courses are high.

Actually, University of Calabar is a fantastic experience, in respect to social life, and ethics. Although there is plenty that can be done to improve facilities and the learning process. The majority of students struggle to complete their programs successfully and deal with challenges including academic strikes, rising tuition fees, unfair grading practices, etc.

Unfortunately, the school was not what a tertiary institution should be though it is what most Nigerian schools do feel like. I don’t want to go into details but serious improvement is needed. I only hope things get better in future.
