As a year 2 student at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), I’ve had the privilege of experiencing this renowned institution, and it’s been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Allow me to share my review and insights about this remarkable university.

To begin with, OAU is synonymous with academic excellence. The quality of education and the commitment of our lecturers are unparalleled. The diverse range of programs ensures that there’s something for everyone, and the emphasis on research and innovation fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Walking through the OAU campus is like stepping into a lush paradise. The towering trees, well-maintained gardens, and architectural marvels create an atmosphere of serenity that makes studying a joy. The Great Ife, as we fondly call it, is not just an institution; it’s a visual masterpiece.

One of the things that make OAU truly unique is its cultural diversity. The rich tapestry of cultures and traditions that come together here is a celebration in itself. From cultural festivals to vibrant student societies, OAU offers an enriching cultural experience.

OAU is more than just a school; it’s a tight-knit community. The camaraderie among students, faculty, and staff is heartwarming. Whether it’s the warm greetings at Awolowo Hall of residence or liveliness at night, you’ll always find a sense of belonging.

Like any university journey, mine at OAU has had its share of challenges. Yet, these challenges have been opportunities for personal and academic growth. OAU equips us with the resilience and determination needed to overcome obstacles. This institution has a soul, a spirit, and a legacy that inspires us all to work hard to obtain success. You should visit OAU yourself.

Obafemi Awolowo University Ile Ife is one of the few universities in Nigeria that offers quality education and has international recognition. Although the students go through the vigorous learning process, it always produces excellent students in the long run.

I studied French as a Foreign Language. It was a course that exposed me to a culture, beliefs, civilization and people different from ours in Africa. I love studying French as it is a known fact that language is life and the French will like and respect you more once you’re able to communicate in their language. However, I do not like the fact that some lecturers were unnecessarily mean and made learning difficult and uninteresting.
The university as a whole is a true citadel of learning as it does not only make you a master of your subject but also brings culture and norms closer to you and helps you become an intelligent, smart, hardworking and civilized human being.
I would like to see students being rewarded according to how hard they have worked and the school to reduce the rate of internal riots and strikes so that the academic calendar will not be disrupted.
It is a school that helps to engage students both socially and academically. So students have fun while learning and it is worth recommending to others. It is also recognized internationally as it has produced students that have made positive impacts all over the world. This is why I know that it has given me a great foundation that has helped me to be a great teacher and an administrator today.
