University of Belgrade vs Ignatius Ajuru University of Education - IAUE vs University of Port Harcourt - Uniport vs University of Calabar vs Rivers State University - RSU

I am studying at the Medical Faculty of the University of Belgrade, majoring in Integrated Academic Studies in Medicine. What bothers people the most is what direction it is, how long the studies last and how long they study. My course lasts 6 years and after those 6 years it is calculated as if you have completed basic and master studies (6 0), hence the name of the integrated study in the name of the course. After completing 6 years, you acquire the right to the title of doctor of medicine, after which you can opt for further education or specialization that you want, but do not have to, you can work as a general practitioner. About 500 students enroll in my major each year, with all the list moves. In addition to my major, there are also basic academic studies of nursing, but also medicine in English, which is a more expensive variant of my major and costs 7000eur per year. At the medical school, non-budget students are a rarity, because if you give year after year, you are on a budget, because when you pass the conditional exams for the next year, you have fulfilled the right to budget funding. For self-financing students, the tuition fee is around 127,000 dinars. The faculty is not very organized and requires a lot of personal commitment. Professors are also doctors, so professorship is not their primary job, which is reflected in most cases in their lack of interest, but if you show interest, they are always ready to meet you and help as much as they can and know. In general, the concept of the faculty is different from the others, because it contains a lot of practical subjects, and attendance at all forms of teaching is mandatory, which can be exhausting, but it lasts. The first three years of study are the so-called preclinical years, where obstetric subjects are taught, which provide some fundamental knowledge and general principles of structure and function of the human body, but every year there is one clinical subject that requires work with patients in hospital. The next 3 years are clinical and the exercises are reduced to working in the hospital and learning the practical part. I would recommend to anyone who likes that vocation to enroll in my college, but not if they are not sure, because to the people who enroll, because they did not know what else or at the urging of someone else, the collapse will be a real torture. The faculty is located within the Clinical Center of Serbia, so it is well connected with all parts of the city. What is a problem is the distance to the nearest canteen. It takes about half an hour to get to the first canteen, which is usually not enough in the break between lectures for lunch. In addition to the educational part, the faculty also offers a handful of sports and entertainment activities, as well as its own cafe (which in my opinion is important). Parties, excursions, but also serious trips are often organized, as well as the famous Medicinijada, which is organized every year in Montenegro.

My experience at Ignatius Ajuru University of Education has been a journey of both academic growth and personal development. The university provides a solid foundation in education and computer science, with lecturers who are knowledgeable and willing to guide students. I especially appreciated the practical components of the course, such as the final year project, which allowed me to build real-world applications and understand system design in depth. However, I believe there's still room for improvement in areas like administrative efficiency and communication between departments and students. Delays in approvals and inconsistent feedback can be frustrating, especially when working on critical projects. Despite the challenges, I would recommend the university to prospective students who are passionate about learning and ready to adapt. The environment fosters resilience, and with the right mindset, you can gain a lot from your time here.

My experience at the University of Port Harcourt was both challenging and rewarding. The academic programme gave me a strong foundation in my field, especially with the practical opportunities and exposure to professional bodies such as ISOC, NCS and CPN. I appreciated the commitment of many lecturers who went beyond teaching to mentor students, although some courses could benefit from updated resources and teaching methods. Campus life was vibrant, offering many opportunities for networking, leadership, and personal growth. However, like many public universities in Nigeria, issues such as inconsistent academic calendars and limited infrastructure sometimes slowed progress. Overall, Uniport prepared me well for the future and helped me build resilience, adaptability, and a broader perspective. I would recommend it to students who are ready to embrace both the academic and real-world challenges that shape you into a well-rounded professional.

It is a federal university located in cross river state, Nigeria . It was established in 1975.It offers undergraduate and graduate programs in various fields including arts,science, education,social sciences, engineering,law, medicine and management sciences . The university has a diverse student body with students from different states of the country. There are different student bodies ,sports teams and religious organizations. The university of Calabar is a reputable institution with a strong focus on academic excellence

I think Rivers State University is a nice university that I will definitely recommend to people because they create the right avenue for learning, but an aspect I see as a downside is the fact that they do not exactly teach some departments their core courses till around the third or fourth year. Asides that, I think the university is fine.
