Student review [#83283] for Accounting
at University of Nigeria Nsukka - UNN

” Last last school na scam” is a popular Nigerian saying which typically means “Going to school is fraud or Going to school is a waste of time”
Judging by this saying I would say although it seems that way due to the current high rate of unemployment in Nigeria, my university speaks differently.
It says otherwise in terms of how it’s students are shaped, ranging from their lectures to extracurricular activities. In my University, you have a billion and one chances to prove that saying wrong due to the extreme amount of opportunities it provides for its students directly or indirectly.
Directly, it creates various events where it’s students who have thrived during the academic sessions are to be rewarded through academic sponsorships, financial sponsorship and many others. Thereby creating an avenue of healthy competition among the students which in turn boosts students to increase there academic performance, increasing their chances of better employment opportunities. Also the visits or reunions of old students comes with much excitement because there is always an upscale of motivation from their talks, tips, rewards and much more.
Again indirectly, my university tends to stretch its students by stressing them. Although this can sound unethical but I view it in a way that, the stress stretchs us, leaving such with a tougher skin and mindset to face the outer world once we graduate. I can proudly say that I have never met a University of Nigeria graduate that hasn’t made something of his/herself unless they just recently graduated ( which by the way they are still outstanding). Then comes the people you will meet, sets and sets of unique mindsets, all Impact in ways I can’t quantify.As the saying goes “Your net worth is determined by network”.
Now, getting to what I feel they can do better is the extension of the available accommodation for its students. It’s no more news to people that a student educational achievement is greatly affected by their accommodation or environment, with that being said I would love if more action can be taken into providing adequate accommodation for a larger fraction (if not all) of its students at affordable prices.
Also although I see the stretch as an advantage “too much of everything is not good”. Therefore they should try to create a better system of doing things in terms of clearances, …
I can’t possibly put an end to this review without stating how passionate some lecturers are to impacting all round knowledge in their students which is really remarkable. I can say when looking for a human definition of this saying “Anything worth doing, is worth doing well”, be sure to take your search to University of Nigeria lecturers.
With that being said, my university which University of Nigeria is worth the shot and yes it is worth the right amount of stretch.
