Student review [#93040] for Economics and Finance
at University of Lusaka - UNILUS

I joined the University of Lusaka in 2022, starting in the law program, but I realized it wasn’t the right fit for me. The school system was flexible enough to allow me to switch to Economics and Finance, which I genuinely enjoy. I’ve been able to maintain strong grades throughout and am now in my final year.
The university environment is very well maintained and student friendly. The classrooms, bathrooms, and overall facilities are clean, and the accommodation is secure with fingerprint check ins. While the security system can limit friend access at times, it’s understandable and doesn’t affect the overall experience. The campus has great amenities, including a netball field, a student gym, and even a hospital on-site. I’ve visited all three campuses, and my favorite is the Silverest campus.
What stood out most for me is the quality of the classes and the engagement from lecturers, who sometimes give practical, real-life advice, especially on topics like investing. I also appreciate the university’s support for entrepreneurship, providing opportunities for students to gain experience and grow their ideas. Additionally, the school has programs to access books and articles online, which makes research and learning easier.
One minor challenge is that sometimes a course may not have a lecturer immediately, which can take a week or two to resolve. Another aspect I personally find limiting is the strict dress code. While I understand the importance of maintaining a professional environment, it can sometimes feel restrictive or boring.
Overall, I think the University of Lusaka is a supportive, flexible, and growing institution. I would recommend it to other students, as it offers excellent academic programs, clean and safe facilities, and opportunities for practical experience and personal growth.
