    I had the opportunity to study at Rivers State University, and my experience there played an important role in my academic and professional development. The university provided me with a solid academic foundation, exposure to different perspectives, and opportunities to develop the skills and confidence I needed for my career.

    One of the things I appreciated most was the diversity of people and experiences. I met students and lecturers from different backgrounds, which made my time at the university both challenging and rewarding.

    Like any institution, there are areas that can be improved, particularly in terms of infrastructure and some administrative processes. However, I am grateful for the education, experiences, friendships, and memories I gained during my time there.

    How stressful it is

    My school environment can sometimes be very stressful for students. One of the major problems is that some of the lecturers are not very serious about their responsibilities. At times, lectures are not properly organized, and students do not always receive the guidance they need to understand their courses. This can make learning difficult and frustrating for many students who genuinely want to succeed academically.
    Another issue is the way some students are treated. In some situations, students experience physical and emotional abuse from lecturers or school authorities. Instead of being encouraged and supported, students may be shouted at, insulted, or treated harshly. This kind of treatment creates fear and anxiety among students and makes the school environment uncomfortable.
    There is also a concern about how results are marked. Many students feel that their results do not truly reflect the effort they put into their exams or assignments. Instead of fair marking, students sometimes receive poor grades or negative reviews that do not match their performance. This can be very discouraging and can affect students’ motivation to study hard.
    Because of these issues, the school environment becomes stressful and difficult for students. A better learning environment should include supportive lecturers, fair treatment of students, and transparent grading systems so that students can learn and perform to the best of their ability.

    Inclusive Learning

    Rivers State University is a State-of-the-art State Tertiary Institution that incorporates inclusive learning. That is, they go beyond the general Lecture-to-students teaching to bring in experts in the particular field of study for the students to gain real-world understanding of their chosen courses even before graduating.

    I will recommend Rivers State University to anyone who wants to get hands-on teaching in their chosen field of study.

    PRACTICAL TEACHINGS

    Rivers State University is an incredible State tertiary institution that blends both theory and practical teachings to give students a hands-on experience of the courses they offer before advancing into the labour market. However, I recommend that these practical sessions start from 100 level so that students can get enough experience they need.

    What stood out for me was our lecturers inviting industry-based gurus to give us practical lectures. Also, I enjoyed the career building and social events during the second semester. They are usually a big platform to learn while having fun and making great connections outside the classroom and hostels.
