Student review [#24365] for Microbiology
at Obafemi Awolowo University - OAU

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.
