Quite a good university with a bit messed up Computer Science course

The facilities of the school of computing are great - very modern building, newest equipment, campus located in the city centre (most likely you don’t need to commute there by metro or a bus). One major thing however that is lacking is the organisation. Being a third-year student I still have the same feeling - the program is written very chaotically. In 2019 there was that revolution of the programme (to keep learning the newest technology) to which lectures and demonstrators still feel a bit unadapted. I hope this will get better in the next year or two years. However, after that time, the taught technology may change again (which is good) and it will take another couple of years for the lecturers to be fluent in what they teaching (which is not good).

Challenging but Worth It

My experience at the University of Uyo was a mixed bag. On the plus side, I loved the sense of community and camaraderie among students. The lecturers in my department were knowledgeable and supportive, and I appreciated the opportunities for research and personal growth. However, I struggled with several issues. The hostel facilities were not ideal, and one major concern was the no-cooking policy in the hostels, which was quite challenging for many students. Additionally, there were times when administrative processes felt slow and bureaucratic. Another major concern was the high billing system, which felt excessive at times. Furthermore, I felt that the curriculum focused too much on theoretical aspects, leaving us somewhat unprepared for real-life practical issues. The infrastructure and facilities in some areas of the campus were also inadequate and outdated. Overall, I'd say UNIUYO has its strengths and weaknesses, but it was a valuable experience that helped me grow as a person and a professional.

Akwa Ibom State University

Akwa Ibom State University is one of the prestigious institution in Nigeria. The University has shaped thousands of grads into world impacting leaders and mentors in their respective field. It has through through highly intelligent lecturers ascertain the transfer of knowledge meaningfully. But, I must say, there are also some slack to the functionality. The University follows a defined curriculum which every year, same things, same way, same courses were taught in the same classroom. It doesn't give chance to keep track of new discoveries or probably push students to discovering one. Student are more or less pressured to cram and digest when required. There's no avenue to give individual perspective but same thing was given by the lecturers. To the end, if I was the leadership of the University, I would ensure the review of the curriculum give chance to new discoveries and then encourage the students to do something with what they learn even while in school.
