Student review [#81876] for Computer Science
at Ignatius Ajuru University of Education - IAUE

I entered university in 2021.
When I was little I used to watch movies on Nigerian universities and it was nice but it is not like that in reality
Firstly classes
The first few weeks were a blur of registration, orientation and trying to find my way around campus. But once classes began reality set in. It was definitely not like high school
Secondly the struggle
Lectures were a daily struggle. Professors would drone on for hours, expecting us to absorb every word like sponges. But with overcrowded classrooms and outdated teaching methods, it was tough to stay engaged. I often found myself zoning out, wondering when the lecture would end.
Thirdly, the Nigerian factor
But despite he challenges, there was a sense of camaraderie among students. We would often joke about the “Nigerian factor”- the unpredictable nature of, well, everything. From sudden power outages to surprise tests, I learned to expect the unexpected.
Lifestyle
Outside of classes, campus life was a vibrant, pulsating entity. From cultural events during SUG (student union Government week) to parties there is always something happening.
Food
One is the highlights of campus life was food. Ah, the food! From Spicy Jollof rice to savory suya with noodles my best combo. My tastes buds were constantly tantalized. And let’s not forget the infamous “mama put” joints those tiny makeshifts resultants that serve amazing food.
The social scene
But campus life wasn’t all about food (although let’s be real, it was a big part of it). The social scene was thriving with countless clubs, organizations churches and parties to choose from. From debating societies to cultural clubs, there was something for everyone.
Lastly, the struggle to balance
Of course, with great freedom comes great responsibility. Balancing academics with social life was a constant struggle. I often found myself staying up late, trying to cram in some last minute studying before a big exam. But despite the challenges I wouldn’t trade those late night study session for the world.
In conclusion, campus life as a Nigerian student is a wild, unpredictable ride full of challenges and triumphs. But through it all I learned valuable lessons about perseverance, friendship and the importance of a good plate of Jollof rice.
Would I recommend students to school here ? Yes I would !
