Student review [#94004] for Industrial Chemistry
at University of Benin

I would say overall that the university is a very reputable institution – from it ranking top ten in Nigeria according to Times Higher Education and Edu Rank, to producing some of the brightest minds across the globe. However, my experience as an undergraduate who is in her penultimate year – currently on SIWES, has been a challenging one for me so far – from having lectures 8-5 everyday, to having marathon night classes preparing for exams, to having results that sometimes do not meet my expectations, coupled with the constant financial demands that being a student brings, it has been a rollercoaster for me. One major thing that has helped me this far is the God factor, then my Mum, my Uncle, and my friends – without them, I probably would have given up a long time ago. I’m still on the journey to having my first degree, and may not know it all, however I would encourage aspirants to surround themselves with the right people – people with like minds whose values align with theirs, and above all put God first in all they do.
