Life in University of Latvia

I'm just started studying Mathematics. The matherial, which lectors are giving to us, and the way of the studying is simple. Also there is options to study by ourselves in rooms with noise isolation. And also I can see, that the university collect a advises from students to develop.

Exhausting management

It is honestly a good institution but I feel like it can get better if it could work hand in hand with the students. What I don’t like talking from experience is the registration period every year whether first or second semester. As students we don’t get assistance on time leading to us being behind with our school work, some to even failing the module(s). To add on that ADOs, finance staff, as well as the housing staff TAKE THEIR OWN SWEET TIME TO ASSIST US!!. I would recommend this institution obviously if you want to see and experience the beautiful province of KZN but all I can say is be prepared to booking appointments with the psychologist for the rest of your study period in UKZN.

Moral Upbringing

At Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Students do not only go there for Academics, but also they are inculcated with Morals. During the 4 years I spent in the School, being in the Northern part of Nigeria and also in a more religious environment, I was made to understand that I need not be half naked or expose my intricate parts as a woman to be beautiful. Growing up with this mentality has earned me respect in my society today and I am grateful for this.

Don't Do Drugs When you are in the university

During my four years programme at the Federal University of Otuoke, drug abuse is one of the biggest problem with students on campus, so my advice to everyone stirring higher for the university shouldn't be on any vices at all.
