Student review [#25010] for Medical Sociology
at University of Ibadan - UI

Sociology builds your capacity to see life from different perspectives which strengthens the intrapersonal skills that give flexibility to any path you choose. U.I delivers academically amongst most universities in Nigeria. In my opinion, the standard of academics is rapidly dropping because teachers give room for compromise in the name of “tag avoidance”. However, the supportive nature and accessibility of these staff is amazing. Ever willing to attend to student’s academic needs. Nevertheless, I opine that Nigerian universities should eliminate compromise and provide standard tutoring for their students. They really need to inculcate the pecks of competitiveness so Nigerians who school in the country can measure up on international grounds because it’s not there yet.
Being a student at the University of Ibadan gave me a whole new experience since my academic background was from a private institution. Life as a student was great. The environment was very serene with good facilities. It’s one of the best Nigeria has and it’s my top list for recommendations to other students. I had amazing teachers who are still great mentors in the academic world and as it relates to life generally. They have a way to push you to do more career-wise such as identifying students who are academically inclined, then there is the encouragement and subtle push to write papers and also attend conferences. They are nurturers, only if you want to be nurtured anyway. However, there is plenty of room to improve greatly, especially in building student capacity beyond just bagging a degree and owning a certificate.
