My university is a state-owned vibrant institution located in the semi-rural area of Enugu State, Nigeria.
With modern facilities and a diverse student body.
The campus has Average state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories, providing an enriching learning environment. It had a combination of knowledgeable, supportive and difficult professors fostering a culture of academic experience and excellence. I liked the academic calendar, because unlike other state-owned and federal institutions in Nigeria, there was no unnecessary delays.
But one thing that dampened my experience was the tuition payment plan. I understand the concept of tuition fees but making it more accessible to students who might have encountered financial difficulties during the academic year won’t hurt anyone.
By making it “accessible” I meant to allow part payments of tuition spread across the two semesters, this way they would have the opportunity to register their courses for the semester, write their assessments and see their results.
I had classmates who lost their sponsors(parent(s)and/or guardian(s) during the academic year and was left to cater to their tuition unexpectedly.
I personally think it is unfair that without full tuition payment, most students miss out on exams and is made to repeat the year.
Overall, my university experience has been fulfilling and has prepared me well for my future career.
