The University of Benin is a stellar institution that gathers great minds from all backgrounds and fields of life. What resonates with me the most about my alma mater is that the environment spurs learning and promotes healthy competition among students. I didn’t like the incessant strikes while I was a student. They distorted academic activities and made learning rushed after it ended. I recommend UNIBEN as it is an environment that is safe, non-discriminatory and fosters learning.
It was a dream come true, I wanted to become a CIMA member which I achieved in 2015, the thing I like their support very user friendly website, the thing I dislike is the Merger with AICPA, as it seems like for most members it is not a merger but a take over. All in all I am happy to be a member in this Esteem Management Accountancy body.
I did my undergrad in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science here, graduated in 2022. Pros: good research, great facilities, good programmes, completely free tuition, inexpensive accommodation + allowance, flexibility in course choice, wide material coverage, all pros of Korea (e.g. safety, convenient travelling) Cons: strict attendance, some lectures of poor quality, competition and relative grading, hard to make local friends/connections, all cons of Korea (e.g. no English whatsoever outside campus) The school is very much research-oriented, with lots and lots of great resources and facilities to do research. So if you want to do a research graduate or post-graduate course here and you like a particular programme, this is definitely a good place for you. That said, most profs are good researches, not necessarily good educators. University-wide policy is that every course essential for degree completion is taught in English. Thus, with a few exceptions in Humanities, and some very obscure courses, you won't have to learn Korean. The professors had to learn English though. And despite that most of them have lived for a certain period of time in the US, some really struggle to teach in English. In worst cases it will come down to the professor simply reading the slides in the lecture. Couple that with a strict attendance policy, you get a pure torture. On a positive note, most of the newly coming young profs are not like that. Lab/research experience is also very different across different professors. Some are complete grind where you only do what professor tells you to do, and end up working 55+ hours a week. Some are nice and cheerful productive environments where you can even have your name on the authors list of couple papers being an undergrad, and enjoy the research process throughout. The courses choice is wide and the programme is really flexible about what you do. This is especially true for larger departments like the School of Electrical Engineering - which is in fact, called "School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering" in Korean, and I don't even know why the word Electrical is even there - you won't get to learn anything like High Power Electrics. Depending on a course, the amount of theory and hands-on differs significantly from completely theoretical courses to labs with almost zero theory taught. Overall, I would like to get slightly more hands-on experience, but it was alright. The material coverage is on a very good balance in between breadth and depth. Perhaps, it's trying to get both breadth and depth, which results in a relatively high workload. And this high workload is something that is partly fuelled by all grading being done relatively. For example, to get an A, you don't have to score 90% - you have to be roughly above avg + 1 stddev of the normalised score distribution in your group. This encourages some instructors and assistants to either make the workload extremely high, or make the exams extremely difficult just for the sake of difficulty, or both. Yet, if you don't care too much about your grades, but still keep studying, it's hard to fail a particular course. Social life is something that is difficult to have in KAIST if you are an international student. 90% of the students are Korean, and most of them feel shy to/don't really want to reach out to international students. Reaching out to those people yourself will rarely help. Out of the remaining students most are not too much into socialising. What are the chances that you'll like the remaining few? Most clubs are also primarily Korean with all their activities conducted in Korean. Should be somewhat easier if you speak Korean, but not necessarily as easy as it would be elsewhere in the world.
