Educative

The University of Ghana is a highly respected institution with strong research, diverse programs, and a vibrant campus life, though it faces challenges with large class sizes and administrative delays, and I would recommend it for its academic reputation and opportunities.

The Ultimate Experience

Wisconsin International University College(WIUC), is one of the top leading private universities in Ghana. There are pros and cons to WIUC. In terms of the positive aspect of the school, the Lecturers are very knowledgeable and highly skilled in their fields. They lecture with understanding and engage students in precise activities that aid the students in learning. Next is the environment. The environment is clean, serene and in order. My favourite place in the school is the Library. As a student, the library is by far the best place to study. The library is clean, spacious, quiet and airconditioned. Every student has their own cubicle to study and avoid distractions. In terms of the negative aspects of the school, unless you are in your second year going, you aren't allowed to use laptops in class. As a technological person, this was a challenge for me. I study better when I type my notes however if I have to write down my notes, I usually miss the important points and get easily distracted. Another con is hangout spots. Besides the cafeteria and hallways, there aren't any spots to hang out with your mates in the school. Honestly, besides these, I can't think of any other cons.

My experience at UPSA

UPSA is a beautiful school which nurtures and shape you for the future. I was there from 2015 to 2019 and I do not regret my decision to enroll there. Even though the campus wasn't spacious enough, building structures were strategically positioned creating free and easy movement. They have a flat of four storeys dedicated for a library with a vast array of books - well labelled according to discipline. The best part is, the library operated 24 hours a day. When it comes to teaching and learning, the university boasts of highly qualified lecturers and spacious lecture halls. In terms of security on campus, they are top notch. The campus is always lit with security men patrolling the campus. What I didn't like when I was there is, even though I was an evening student, during exams they combined both regular students and evening student and I struggled because I worked while schooling.
