I enjoyed living and learning in this citadel of learning. The lecturers in the Department of Animal Science and my thesis supervisor were superheroes without capes. They were helpful without being condescending and eager to share their wealth of knowledge. This prepared me for the labour market. I definitely hope to come back for doctoral studies.

Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, has tranquil and beautiful grounds. The university is on a big plot of land with parks, lush greenery, and stunning landscape. The campus building blends into the environment.

The university boasts a vibrant academic environment with diverse students and faculty. OAU has a rich culture, intellectual past, and superb academics. Campus life is dynamic and engaging due to academic and artistic events.

Student life at OAU is vibrant due to its many clubs, groups, and events. Sports games, cultural festivals, and scholarly conflicts are examples. Many hobby-related extracurriculars help students have a well-rounded college experience.

First of all, Obafemi Awolowo University(OAU) is a top-notch institution among all other federal schools in the country right now. It was founded in 1962 (60 years ago) and yet still maintains a classy standard. For me, I enjoy the student-conducive environment and love her acceptance rate per year.

Obafemi Awolowo University is a great citadel of learning with educational excellence. African most beautiful campus for learning and culture. Experienced lecturer with academy intellectual, conducive environment and zero tolerance.

The Microbiology program at the Obafemi Awolowo University is one that exposes you to myriads of excellent minds and research ongoing in the world of Microbiology, it offers the opportunity to be able to network with colleagues and members from other departments, which helps to bolster the innovative spark needed to achieve success while carrying out research.
However this is not to say it doesn’t have its shortcomings, lack of adequate research equipment and facilities is a big problem across many public institutions in Nigeria Obafemi Awolowo University is one of them, I’d say the department is underfunded, the faculty is understaffed and the pressure on the equipment is much due to the student to lecturer ratio.
On the issue of accommodation, I think a lot needs to be done to better put students at an advantage when it comes to housing and accommodation, the maintenance culture is lacking amongst various halls of residence in the University which has led to poor living conditions amongst the student community.
In sum, I think the school remains one of the good public institutions in the country and can be improved upon in terms of infrastructure, research facilities, housing, etc.
