7 Things You Will Dislike About Nigerian Higher Institutions

 READ THIS IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO JOIN HIGHER EDUCATION

Are you aiming to enter the higher institution and you always read and hear juicy things about university.
There are some things which you may not like about Nigeria university .

Poor classroom: The state of the lecture room of some school are nothing to talk about. Some are without windows and door due to poor management or shortage of renovation fund.

Advice To Freshers In Nigerian Higher Institutions Must Read

There are about 1.4 million young Nigerians who are waiting to hear that word congratulations; waiting to receive an admission letter that begins with it.

Sadly, only about 700,000 of these students will receive the good news. But getting admission into the tertiary institution is just a tip of the iceberg.

The sad fate of students, who have been unable to complete their tertiary education for reasons ranging from peer pressure, cultism, drugs and alcohol abuse to pure laziness should serve as an example to fresh students, but this is not always the case.

Many fresh students still fall victims of these vices. Some other times, challenges could be as minor as the most affordable way to get food or the best ways to save your money.

Living conditions
Reports say that only about 25 % of Nigerian University students live on campus. This means that for every student who lives on campus, there are three others who face the stressful task of commuting to and from school every day.

Staying off campus isn’t just stressful, it could
sometimes be dangerous. Most incidents of campus violence usually take place off campus.

But if you can’t make the 25%, and need to stay in an off campus hostel, don’t be alarmed.

However, ensure that you do your best to investigate your off campus hostel. What sort of people stay there? What’s the security like? Be sure to begin searching as soon as possible to get the best deals available. If you need to share rent and board with someone else, do your best to find out about your future roommate’s character.

Choose friends wisely
You have probably heard it time and time again that bad company corrupts good manners. It might sound like a cliché to you; but it’s probably ageless because it’s true. No, you will not get special grades for making friends with the most popular people on campus. So don’t be so desperate that you can do anything for
friendships.

Take out time to pick friends that can spur you on morally and academically. Remember that although campus streets may sometimes seem like a movie set, you’re there to get a BSc, not an Oscar for ‘Best Friendship on set.’

Start studying on time
It could be pretty overwhelming when you get into school for the first time. There are lots of new places to learn about…let the library being one of
them.

Apart from registration and some periodic orientation programmes, your first few weeks will be the freest you’ll ever be in your schooling career.

Too early for trouble
There are so many things you need to prove when you get into school. That you can break the rules and get away with it is not one of them. The thing about trouble is that your record tends to stay with you and put you into more and more trouble. If you don’t know the rules and regulations of the institution you are about to enter, find out, and if you can’t take the heat, don’t take the admission. Ask any parent; it’s more honourable to have a child stay at home than to have him expelled or suspended.

Watch your pocket
Cut your cloth according to your size. Don’t spend
money because other people are doing the

Stay Off-Campus- With This 5 Reasons.

For as long as you are an undergraduate, it's fair to say that off campus hostel is better than the school owned hostel. With this best reasons below you are good to go.

CHOICE IS LIMITED
In the school hostel, you don't have the luxury of picking from a variety of choices and opportunity. Its just a room where you are stuffed with eight people. Off campus, you can choose if you'll like a room, a self contain, 2 bed room flat etc.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
The school hostel has a long list of ridiculous Rules and regulations you have to strictly follow which mainly consists of "don'ts". Off campus on the other hand, you don't necessarily have to listen to anyone. Nobody tells you what do.

PRIVACY
It's glaring that you simply don't have "Me-time" in the school hostel. You put.your pen on the bed, you meet it on the floor. Your belongings also goes missing from time to time. staying off campus affords you that privacy. Nobody disturbs you. If you like sleep Unclad on the bed.
PRICE
The amount charges by schools is simply ridiculous. You pay tens of thousands of Naira to stay in a room with eight other guys. Off campus accommodation is relatively cheaper.

VISITORS
In a typical school hostel, your friends can't visit you in your room. if I hear say babe visits you. In some schools e.g. unilorin, you might even be fined or get thrown out of the hostel.
Off campus accommodation affords you that. You friends, girlfriends, can visit you anytime, anyday.

Staying off campus is one of the

Is Being Smart The Same As Being Intelligent?

Often, the phrases 'you're smart!' and 'you're intelligent!' are used severally and/or interchangeably. But on a deeper introspection, the words, 'smart' and 'intelligent' actually bear different meanings.

In my opinion, being intelligent applies to the academic field and refers to someone who's good at academics, someone with good analytical skills required for tackling academic issues and problems.

Smartness, on the other hand, refers to having the common sense or sharp sense of reasoning to navigate the ups and downs of life, and knowing how to do the right thing at the right time to get what one wants.

While intelligence measures your academic ability and academic success, smartness measures your ability to identify and apply common sense in life to achieve what you want in life. In life, you often meet these 3 sets of people:

5 Qualities OF A First Class Student (Must Read)

Are you a student in a university or higher institution or an aspirant? If yes, then this is for you. Remember when you first got into school, your first aspiration was to graduate from the university with a first class. Then, especially for those that have been in school for quite a while, the aspiration seemed to change with time after the first year.

Compromise sets in and you began to settle for less than your initial goal. Very few people leave school with the degree they had wanted to acquire initially. I must tell you that the ‘first class’ in in your hands and not in the hands of your lecturers.

How to Recognise Serious Students on Campus(Must Read)

All that glitters is not gold. Similarly, a popular Igbo proverb says that because all lizards lie on their stomach, you will never know the one(s) that have running stomach. I wonder if lizards do have running stomach but that’s just by the way.

What’s my point?
OK. There are so many students in schools but then, there are students and there are students.

It could also be hard as well as confusing to identify those who are really qualified to bear honorable status of student i.e. those who are really the serious and those who aren’t.

What spurred me into this direction?
Just the other day, I was chatting with a very worried parent whose child seem to be unable to graduate from the university 3 years after the normal duration of his 5 year course.

I was alarmed because I immediately knew why this parent was going through…for the past three years, maybe.

I really felt for him because his worriment really showed.
How could I tell him that pooty things like that can happen…? I mean, how can I tell him that it was partly his fault that things are the way they are now simply because he rather left it too late with regards to checking up on his boy’s academic progress up
until now…? How can I tell him that there is thing called “carry-over” which is course/s that his boy must have failed and must pass before he can graduate…?

When he said that he is even more confused now than ever
because he is tired of hearing different version of the almost impossible mumbo-jumbos his boy was regularly spitting out, I knew I just had to tell him.

That was because I sensed it from something he said and from the way he unknowingly hinted me that he now suspects his boy was an unserious student.

In case you are in the same boat like this parent, or maybe you really want to rate your wards, or your friends and/or even yourself to know if s/he is a serious student or not or to know how serious you are with your academics, I will try to help you do so by presenting you with some of these pointers with which
you can base your serious-student evaluation upon.
This is how.

A serious student…

1.Knows his/her Grade Point Average (GPA)
I don’t know any other better method than this with which to instantly identify a serious student. In fact, I think it is the fastest way to identify a serious student on the spot!

Your GPA is the standard used in ranking and rating students’ performance in college so any serious student is supposed to be aware of this very important score.

Granted, it is not always possible for many students to know the exact figure, but then when you come across any student who does not even have any slightest idea what his or her own GPA figure is, like this sophomore student that even asked me “what is GP?”, take it from me, you are looking at a confirmed unserious student.

So do you know your GPA? You see?

2.Knows the nature of the question of any upcoming
examination(s)

This is so true because any serious students must have done his or her assignment thoroughly and must have mastered all the “tricks” which the lecturer or examiner is going to adopt in the exams proper.

A serious student knows that the exam questions are not going to be
