These are the top questions asked by newly admitted students in addition to schools fees and course registration queries. I spent over three years in school hostel and at such has a lot to offer as regards the topic at hand.

In this article, I will list and explain the 8 disadvantages of school hostels and 5 reasons you should not think of living in the hostel. This piece is scientifically compiled based on findings from major Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education across Nigeria.

The following are Universities and Polytechnics I shall emphasise on: Covenant University, Federal University of Technology Owere (FUTO), University of Benin (UNIBEN), University Of Lagos (UNILAG), Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of Illorin (UNILORIN), Abu Zaria, Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Auchi Polytechnic, Lagos State University (LASU), University of Portharcourt (UNIPORT), University of Ibadan (UI), Laspotech and many more.

Trust me, I will try to make this topic as interesting as possible.

8 Advantages And 5 Disadvantages Of Staying In School Hostel

Are you ready for the comparison? Take a glass of chilled water, tighten your seat belt and let’s begin the interesting journey.

8 Reasons You Should Stay In School Hostel:

1. Hostel Is Relatively Secure:

 You want to graduate right? Then security should be your number one priority. School hostels are more secure compared to off campus.

With every passing day, we hear gists about how arm robbers attack students who live outside hostels and take most valuable properties from them. I have not heard or experienced gun attack inside campus hostels. It’s rare!

Another common security threat outside campus is cultism. Cultists operate more outside campus than school hostels.

One beauty of living in campus is that there are security guides all around the University environment. They would always check around whether there are issues.

2. You Will Learn To Tolerate People: 

Some species of persons and behaviours you will find in school hostels will make you wonder whether those guys were made in the image of God. However, you would be able to cope with and tolerate them.

Before now, you always feel that everyone has to think and act the way you do; but you are wrong. Just the way our faces differ, so also does our hearts and characters differ. Meeting different persons makes you understand and begin to take them for who they are. Hostel fosters relationship building.

There is a common belief that you can stay anywhere in the world if you can survive in school hostels. That’s because the school hostel has exposed you and able to make you solve compatibility issues.

3. You Will Have Broader Knowledge: 

You will be surrounded by students across various faculties and departments. Interacting with them will help you know more about other fields of study. Meeting different persons will also make you know more about life.

I have been able to know more about Medicine, Pharmacy, Accounting, Law, Biochemistry, Mathematics, Nursing, Agric and other beautiful courses because of the privilege I had to live with students from those departments and faculties. This is possible because the school hostel allows students in various departments to come together.

Apart from knowing more about their courses and departments, the school hostel also gives you the opportunity to meet persons from different states and tribes. In this case, you would be able to learn other languages and know more about places you have not been to. You will as well learn how to prepare different kind of dishes.

In one way or the other, you will always meet amazing people that you would love to be like. Your senior colleagues could also be in the same room with you to give you materials and advice ahead of time.

4. Reading Enthusiasm: 

The school hostel has been able to dramatically boost my reading habit. Your reading life will likely increase by ten fold if you live in the school hostel.

Every minute, you will see persons going to night classes to read. There are times you won’t find anyone left in your room and you will be like, “na me come dull pass?”. The next thing is for you to also take your things and rush to night class or reading room.

No matter how good you are at reading, you will find persons who read far more than you in the school hostel. I have seen people read for more than 24 hours straight and I have done it many times too. The school hostel has a way of boosting your reading habit and enthusiasm.

In addition, your result will likely be better (get a good result) in your first year if you live in a school hostel. You will be too comfortable if you live alone or with just one person outside the school. Off campus presents you with all the pleasure life has to offer.

5. Proximity To Source Of Information: 

Information is what puts you in the right position and it is what you have in your head that takes you ahead. The school hostel gives you first hand information about what recent happenings in school and what may likely happen next.

Yo would be the first to know whether the class would hold or not, whether there would be attendance, what the lecturer is planning, the new materials to read for the text and exams, the Students Union Government newsletter and any information you need to come out in flying colours.

6. Proximity To Classes: 

You will be able to rush to class in case of emergency tests and attendance. It would also be easy for you to go back and pick anything you might have forgotten in the hostel.

Apart from the instances above, it is good to walk to class just in few minutes. You don’t have to be exhausted anytime you trek to class. It would also save you the transport you would have been burning daily to come to class plus possible hold ups on the road.

7. Stable Water And Power Supply: 

Most University hostels in Nigeria have alternative sources of power supply. There is always electricity at night when the public electricity power supply interrupts supply.

Every student needs electricity at night to cook, read, and do other stuff. The presence of an alternative source of power supply makes hostel better than off-campus. Even if you are able to afford a generator off-campus, noise and the fact that you have to spend money on fuel is a big turn off.

8. School Hostels Are Affordable: 

You pay as low as #8,000 per session in some schools hostels. If you don’t have much money to waste on rent and other properties you need to live comfortably outside campus then try the school hostels.

Another benefit is that you will always find persons to help you when you are stranded in the hostel.

There are many more advantages of staying in the school hostel, however, the above points should be enough for you to decide whether to stay in a hostel or not.

5 Reasons Why You Should Not Stay In School Hostel

1. You Need To reApply Every Session: 

Your hostel fee only lasts for one session. The school sends every student packing at the end of each session. You will always have to reapply for hostel and you may not be lucky to secure space the next time. The condition to reapply is that you must first pay your school fees.

This switch will make you meet different roommates who may not be as nice as those in your first room.

2. Bad Habits And Privacy: 

You may be wondering how many persons stay per room in the school hostel. The number could be lesser than five for a high quality school hostel. However, the number generally ranges from 8 to 17 persons per room (I am not exaggerating).

In Unilag, Uniben, aau and other hostels, you have so many persons living in one room. This will really result to privacy issue. You can’t have personal private life or private property. Your things could be taken without permission and you could meet random persons “crashing” in your bed space.

Hostel is very annoying since you will see persons with different philosophies and raw behaviours. You will come across fellow students who may seem psychopathic schizophrenic. The habits displayed there is something else.
The School hostel toilets are generally dirty and smell bad… Some students defecate without flushing while other leave faeces behind on the floor. It is very disgusting that I won’t want to dwell on that.

Many students living in the hostel are dirty and as such mess up the school hostel environment. You will notice different odours in the hostels.

4. Bad Influence And Robbery Issues: 

With such a number of persons in the hostel, there will certainly be bad eggs. Remember, evil communication corrupts good manners.

You can change from good, amazing, soft and God-fearing boy/girl to a bad girl/boy overnight. You are not immune, it can happen to any persons. This influence can begin from the music, chat, and interactions that happen in the hostel.

Another bad thing in the school hostel is that students steal a lot. People steal clothes, boxers, pants, laptops, phones, slippers, bucket, shoes, headset, pot, and many other properties in the hostel. It has happened to me (Adetunji Matthew of AidTheStudent.com) and my friends.

My Infinix note 3, clothes and fan were all stolen in the hostel. Although people could break into your house to steal when you stay off-campus, however, little domestic stealing is rare.

5. Heat And Bed Bugs: 

Unilag and many other hostels are breeding environments for bed bugs. With that number in the room and everyone cooking simultaneously, you could imagine the heat that would be generated. The hostel is not a place of comfort at all.

In conclusion, It is now your choice to decide whether to stay in the school hostel or now. You already have all the points and comparisons you need to make a decision. However, I will advise every year one students to stay in the hostel… After your 100L you could then decide whether to continue in the hostel or not.

I wish you the very best in your future endeavours…..

Good morning Student! Yea, something is definitely good about the morning. At least, you are up and healthy. You may not be where you want to be, but the good news is that you are no longer where you used to be. So, when you wake up every morning, tell yourself sweet things.

Nothing sinks more into you than what you continually tell to yourself. You may want to ask the question, what should I tell myself? Continue reading for heartwarming things to tell yourself every morning before you go to class:

1. I AM BEAUTIFUL:

You are wondering if a male can be beautiful too. Yes, males can be beautiful as well. Real beauty is in the inside.

The beautiful you that I am talking about is “the you inside of you“.  That is the real you. Admire and tell yourself every morning that you are beautiful.

Say things like, “wow! am so beautiful this morning”. You are altogether beautiful; there is no flaw in you.

2. NO ONE LIKE ME:

The best thing to be in this world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what others want you to be. There is no one like you, no one has ever been like you and no one will ever be like you.

Say words like, “I am real, you are not me. I am the only real me”. For some, they spend their whole life trying to change who God has made them to be, There is something unique about you.

3. I HAVE ALL IT TAKES:

You have all the transport to get to the desired destination. All the papers are as well complete in you. This is one thing you should not fail to tell yourself every morning. Before looking outside, look inside of you.

You have all it takes to pass that examination, all it takes to be the best in that class and all it takes to make impart. Don’t look for help abroad; think broad.

Each one of us has a responsibility to discover our potentials and then maximize them. These are amazing things to accomplish. Say, “I have all it takes”.

4. I KNOW WHO I AM:

Understanding your personality makes you a principality. Always tell yourself who you really are. You are a star, an icon and total embodiment of greatness.

This revelation makes you wake up strong every morning. Hit your chest and boldly declare that you know who you are.

If someone else hears and ask, “who are you?” Tell him or her that you are a royal priesthood, a blessing to generations, barrier breaker and a child of light. Wake up and shine.

5. I AM BEHIND SCHEDULE:

Live your life with the mentality that you are behind schedule. Urgency matters, there is no time to check the time. There are so many to nations conquer.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to drive my first car even as a student. As you wake up every morning, project your eyes into the future and begin to see things. Don’t compete… rather, complete. Say to yourself, ” I am behind schedule”.

6. MY YESTERDAY WON’T STOP ME:

Another major line in the lyrics of heartwarming things is to tell yourself that past events cannot stop you. A lot of things may have happened in the past; you can’t change them. However, you can change your reaction to what happened.

There are so many changes to be made, there are many more things to accomplish. You are permitted to look back occasionally; look forward continuously. You can still make up if you mean it. Tell yourself this morning, “my past will not stop me at all”. I wish you the very best.

This article is also very important to students who are still hoping for admission into any higher institution in Nigeria. So long you don’t give up, your name will enter the admission list one day.

Any mistake made in 100 Level will always be regretted in the final year. The ones made in 200L cannot be forgotten easily. The regrets of students are what they did in 100L or refused to do.

51 Things New Students Must Learn

Do what you should do now, don’t wait for later.  I have 51 Vitamins packed strategically and to carefully position you mentally for the University or Polytechnic race. Here are 51 things you must learn as a new student:

1. Love Your Study Course

Never get tired of your course of study, Love it. You may not be given your dream course; dream in your given course. Don’t let the feeling that you were not given your desired course weigh you down or affect your studies. Live in reality.

2. Ask Questions in School

Nobody knows it all. Don’t stop asking questions as a 100 level student. As a newly admitted student, admit that you need help. Remember, students who ask questions don’t get lost. Ask questions about the school you are admitted into.

3. Believe in Yourself

Sometimes, you will feel intimidated by the calibre of people you will meet in school. Don’t let that kill your confidence, Believe in yourself. Trust your ability even if nobody believes in you.

4. Identify Your Weakness

Start thinking about the things you are good at and the ones you aren’t good at. Start realising and fixing the issues you brought from home. Identify your weakness early and start to work on yourself.

5. Limit Your Friends

Everyone shouldn’t be your friend. Do not be in haste to make friends. This is one of the biggest decision you will make as a newly admitted student. So, choose friends with your eyes open. Bad friends can ruin you completely.

6. Learn to Tolerate

Never expect everyone to be like you. In school, you will meet persons with different characters. Stop judging people too early, be open-minded, don’t easily get upset at people’s behaviour. Learn to tolerate your course mates and hostel mates.

7. Set Goals

The first year in school is a good time to set goals and target. Draw out plans on the things you want and what you don’t want, decide where you would go and places you won’t enter. Be determined to be the best. Align your goals and ambition.

8. Don’t Be People Pleaser

Be yourself in school. Don’t insult or inconvenience yourself by thinking that you can make everyone happy. The worst thing to be is what others want you to be. Be yourself!

9. Save Money

First-year in school is the best time to get money from friends and relatives. The higher you go, the lesser you receive money. Your best bet is to have enough cash in your savings. You won’t regret this habit.

10. Learn to Cook

Hundred level or ND 1 students are fond of buying everything they see around. Stop spending anyhow and start cooking. Cooking saves your money and it is a good skill to learn as well.

11. Learn to Set Targets

Start to set short and long term target. Tell yourself things like, “this is what I must achieve this week”, “My plan is to finish up this today”, your life should be all about your plan and God’s plan.

12. No Course is Difficult

This course is difficult, it is difficult to pass that course; this is what you will continuously hear. Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t pass the course. If people have graduated from the department, then they passed all the courses. You too can.

13. First Class is Possible

It is possible to be in first class. Don’t be deceived by senior students. Always aim for the grade of your dreams, if you eventually don’t get it, at least you will be very close to getting it.

14. Get Study Time

Don’t follow others, find out the best time you enjoy reading. Know when you understand better. If night class isn’t for you, don’t force yourself to do it. Find out what works best for.

15. Get Study Environment

Some read at the library, others read in class, some read in the hostel, some love to read with earpiece while others like very calm environment. No one is wrong; it is all about preference. Find out where you get the best out of studies.

16. Have a Study Plan

Don’t wait for exams to be close, create daily and weekly study plan. Ensure that you revise what was taught within a week of the class. Draft out a study timetable or schedule and be consistent with it.

17. Have A Cleaning Plan

Don’t be too serious with academics that you don’t have time to clean up your room. Always create time to clean up your room. Be a clean person even when no one watches you. Have a washing plan, wash and iron your clothes.

18. Look for a Mentor

In school, you will always find people that look like what you wish to be. Look for them and look up to them. They will guide you, teach you from their experience, give you materials and generally make life in school easier for you. You obviously can’t know it all.

19. Don’t Gossip Teachers

You are too young to be discussing your lecturers. Your aim in class is to learn, do that and move on with your life. Don’t yourself into trouble so early.

20. Don’t Give Up on Hard work

You will sometimes find reasons not to be serious, reasons to give up. These are temptations you must overcome. Never give up on your push for excellence.

21. Don’t Date Too Early

I can count up to 20 persons who go ruined academically and emotionally because of entering into a relationship too early. You don’t have any reason to rush into a relationship in school. There are many pressing issues.

22. Avoid Distractions

Distractions in school can come from anywhere. It can come from friends and even the opposite sex. Anything that goes against the main reason you are in school is a distraction; avoid them at all cost.

23. Don’t Miss Classes

Attendance matters, what is taught in class matters. Don’t let anyone advise you to miss classes.

24. Assignment Matters

In my final year, I realised that most lecturers use assignment in place of Test when there is poor performance. Attendance counts most of the time. Exam questions also come from assignments given. Apart from that, why are you in school if you can’t do an assignment?

Also Read: 10 Life-Changing Things Students Should Know

25. Test Matters

In most schools, continuous assessment carries up to 30%. You will have to fight for 70% in the examination. Tests are a major part of the continuous assessment. Don’t miss tests.

26. Be Active in Class

Don’t be a bench warmer; be active in class. Ask and answer questions, don’t be scared that people will laugh at your answers. What matters is that you are learning and that is the goal. Aim to be the best in your class.

27. Live Offline Most Times

Live life offline. Don’t be too addicted to social media. When you are reading or when classes are going on is not the best time to be online. There is a time and season for everything my dear.

28. Learn Continuously

Learn something new every day. Instructions may end in the classroom, don’t let learning end with it. Learn new things every day. Focus your energy on what creates the desired result of your life. Improve your brains and minds every day.

29. Understand More

Don’t just study to pass exams, study to understand. Learn all your courses have an impact on your life. The subjects aren’t just design for you to come out with A’s. They are to teach you something about life.

30. Boost Your Reading Appetite

Have a strong reading habit. With every passing day, improve on your reading life in terms of quality and duration.

31. Live Well in School

Your parents or guardians sent you to school with expectations. Do not disappoint your parents and so many other persons looking up to you. Be good value for their money. Avoid whatever would end up in disgrace.

32. Avoid Pressure from the Opposite Sex

Immediately you gain admission, there are boys and girls waiting to kill your dream. Senior students chase young admitted girls just to take advantage of them. Avoid distractions from senior students.

33. Find Your Match

Iron sharpeneth iron. Look for people of like passion. People who have the same vision and goals. This will so much make things easy for you.

34. Try a Reading Partner

Most times, it is easier to understand when you have a reading partner. You may want to try reading with someone to see if it helps. Feel free to stop if it doesn’t favour you.

35. Read Effectively

Don’t deceive yourself, effective reading is not by duration. It is by how much attention you put in and how many things you were able to understand. Don’t skip the topics you find difficult, meet scholars to explain. Avoid people who have the same weakness as you.

36. Buy Books

Unless you don’t have money, buy every book the lecturer recommends and make sure you read them. Stop borrowing up and don’t.

37. Copy in Class

You must learn to put down notes in class. It doesn’t matter whether that is being dictated is in your text. Writing helps you in different ways. In fact, it is easier to remember what you wrote by yourself.

38. Upgrade in Reading

Don’t use secondary school reading pattern. Upgrade!

39. Motivate Yourself

If nobody motivates you, motivate yourself. Always find reasons to behave, find reasons to be the best version of yourself. Stay focused.

40. Avoid Pressure

Pressure will come from friends and society. Avoid pressure to get rich quick, avoid pressure to follow short cut, avoid pressure to join a cult, avoid pressure to put hands in what is hot, avoid trouble in any form. It is better for them to say you’re weak than for strong men to cry at your grave.

41. Reduce Religious Activities

A lot of students get too occupied with religious activities in school that it even makes them skip some classes. There are time and priority for everything. Give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser. Even God won’t be happy with your misplace priority.

42. Think Critically

Always use your head. Don’t follow everything you are told. Apply wisdom to everything that you do while in school. In everything, Aim to understand.

43. Be Disciplined in School

Don’t do things because no one sees you or because you have the urge to do it. Always think it through. Don’t sleep too much, don’t eat too much, to womanise too much, don’t drink too much, etc. Always have moderation.

44. No One Is Watching, But

Your parents may not be in school to always monitor or correct you. Other persons in school may not be able to fight or correct you. But remember that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Actions have consequences. Don’t misbehave.

45. Learn New Skills

Learn as many skills as possible why you are in school. Your skills will always make way for you in school and outside school. Learn as many tech skills as possible, stop giving excuses.

46. Keep Secrets

Don’t tell people everything about yourself; especially your weakness. They may end up using them against you. You are mature now, learn to keep certain things to yourself. If someone believes in you to tell you things, never betray the person.

47. Read Other Books

Majority of Nigerian Students read only what they are taught in class. Read outside the box, learn new things. Read Literatures, Tech and Science books. It doesn’t necessarily need to relate to your course of study. Read motivational and inspiration books

48. Manage Your Time

Time is one of the biggest resources given to man equally. What you do with time is what life will eventually do to you. Learn time management so as to get the best out of school.

49. Always Visit AidTheStudent

Just like this article, AidTheStudent.com has thousands of resources to help and keep you in shape. Simply click here to see the reasons AidTheStudent is the best blog for Parents and Students.

50. Don’t Lose Hope

It is a lack of hope that will make a student resolve to committing suicide in school. Your problem is not the biggest, every issue has an ending date, so long you are alive, you will come out of issues, out of poverty and out of heartbreaks. Suicide or hopelessness should never be an option for you.

51. You Background Isn’t A Problem

You may be from a very poor background but let it put your back on the ground. You can make it no matter your family situation and no matter where you are from. Just believe in yourself and put in more effort.

Whether you are in Federal, State or Private School, Uniben, Unilag, OAU, Unilorin, UI, Covenant, Auch, Delsu, Funaab, Uniport, Abu, Lasu, Yabatech, etc, or even outside the country, this article will definitely work for you.

University can fly by, and when you’re caught up in all the excitement and deadlines, it’s easy to make some common mistakes and take student life for granted.

To make sure you’re making the most of your uni experience, we’ve rounded up a group of nostalgic graduates to hear what they wish they’d known when they were freshers.

Before we continue, Read: 15 Stupid Mistakes That Are Killing Your GPA

so let’s take a minute to remember those things we wished we knew upon entering the university for the first time, so those still there can learn from it and not make the same mistake.

The most important things to know about university

1. Year one is the easiest it’s ever going to get

Thee lecturers are easy, the courses are simple and exams are mostly going to be objectives, but as you proceed, it gets tough and harder and if you are failing at year one, you probably should drop out. 

Lacking a basic grounding of first-year knowledge will make it much trickier to get good grades in second year, and your tutor will be less likely to help you out if they’re concerned you haven’t been making the effort already.

Read: Four things that you didn’t know you could get from your university

2. University attendance is important even in first year

At uni, no one’s going to chase after you if you decide not to show up to class or hand in your coursework.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking this is a blessing. It takes some serious self-discipline to drag yourself to those 7am lectures when you could easily just stay in bed.

But, when you’re paying such high tuition fees to be there, you’d be a fool to waste it – especially when you consider 12 Signs Your Village People Don’t Want You To School.

Read: 8 Signs You Bought Gala With Your School Fees

3. Do work experience when you’re at university

Unfortunately, these days most employers expect more on your CV than just your degree.

Building an arsenal of relevant work experience, and getting involved in extracurricular activities before you graduate will massively help you leapfrog your application to the top of the pile. check the list of our 10 Best Small Business Ideas To Start At Nigeria University

Getting some work experience is also really helpful if you’re not quite sure what you want to do career-wise, as you’re able to test the water in a few different industries and roles to see what you enjoy (and what you don’t).

Make sure you get cracking with work experience as early on as possible, as you’ll have less time in your final year when you’ve got the dreaded dissertation to deal with.

4. Never Take Group courses to heart

Any course that has about 6 to 7 departments taking them are probably not worth most of your time, instead focus on your department course, they are more serious and assignments and test count, unlike the crowded courses.

5. Stay on good terms with your housemates

Surviving shared living can be tough, and it’s natural that things might get a bit tense every now and then.

But try not to fall out over things that will seem irrelevant in a few months time. Having dirty dishes stacked up in the sink is an annoying but inevitable part of uni life, so try not to get too worked up about it.

If flatmates are being difficult, you could think about setting up a cleaning rota or bringing everyone together to have a chat about it over a cuppa. Just make sure you don’t let it escalate, as you’ll regret losing friendships over a bit of washing up.

6.  Going To School Is Not For Reading Alone

Forget what your parents told you and focus more about finding yourself in Uni because not everyone is a bookworm and the university actually provides opportunities for everyone depending on your interests.

7. Think about what you want to do after university

You might not have a clue what you want to do after uni – and that’s completely fine. But it’s worth at least having a think about your options and coming up with a general plan as something to aim for.

Having an end goal in sight will help a lot on days when you’re lacking motivation and drive as a student – it reminds you that the hard work really is worth it.

Whether it’s taking time out to travel the world, setting up your own business or doing an internship, it’s important to see the bigger picture as graduation will come round much sooner than you think.

14 mistakes every fresher makes in Nigeria.
There are some silly mistakes Nigerian freshers make. You need to know how to behave as a fresher in the University. Mistakes every fresher makes? Ummm! No! My bad, I meant to say mistakes most freshers make.
Top 14 mistakes every fresher makes(at least 75%)
Now its time to dive into the gist.
Are you ready?

Top 14 mistakes Freshers Make in Nigeria 

1. Attending every single freshers event/ I must be popular by force

Of course this mistake is so common to freshers especially the younger ones , see don’t get me wrong, we are all familiar with the um, do I call it a phrase? “have fun when you are young”, but you know, sometimes good sleep might be better. See I get it you want to be popular, you are an artiste you want people to feel you but do you know “most people who get popular during their first year in the tertiary institution regret it years after” Why don’t you take a chill pill, wait till you are in the 2nd year with a stable GPA .

Most of the people who get popular early in school end up with really bad results and some may be advised to withdraw. Sad truth is, most people who get popular from 100 level may be forgotten when you are in final year. Take things slowly Freshers night is one occasion most freshers die to attend but you know what? Cultist get new recruits that day. Do you want to be one?

Yet aside from leaving you broke for the rest of the term and with a serious case of the memory relapse, dragging yourself to every party going will not only take the fun out of the events you do want to go to, but is also just plain unnecessary.

2. Forgetting The Necessities

Packing the entire things you need for the whole semesters could be a very tiring experience, so it is inevitable that you might forget some things.

Yet they are some things you must take along like your credentials and other important details.

Read: What to take to university checklist

3. Signing up for every single organization

I sing, I should be in a music group in school , “I want to join mano’war or kegites! o chill they have a book club at the university you should totally check it out, but while university is all about trying something new, you therefore shouldn’t sign up for everything going.

Think about the fantastic options that interest you, then pick a select few you think you’d actually be committed to attending. There’s a much greater chance you’ll actually see them through. Take it easy.

4. Thinking you have to hang out with the first person you meet, forever

😂 😂 😂 Let me laugh a little! Are you kidding me? Do you know how many years youre gon’ spend in school?
At times the first person you meet ends up being your best pal but not everytime.
I dont know you probably must heard everyone telling you that you’ll meet your friends for life at university.

Don’t let this fool you cos it isn’t always the case , many freshers find themselves in a wild panic after apparently having not discovered these special people just a few days in. First of all, take a chill pill, relax man!
Please don’t believe there’s a need to stay attached to the first friendly person you meet forever more.

Though many great friendships are made in the first few weeks, many, many more are made throughout the year and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet your future soul-mates.

5. Bringing Useless things .(You will tell me the car that will carry everything)

You will definitely need to read Things to take to school as a fresher in Nigeria

6. Hiding in your room

Hiding in your room? Lol . Trust me when I say i know what it means to be an “omo get inside” When you first move into your new accommodation, and there are lots of strange people moving about and maybe, hollering. Yeah I get that feeling, you feel kinda shy!
See the truth is, you’re going to need to make friends and live with this people for years. Making friends is also the ideal time to bond over bunk, room leadership and the general cleanliness of your room.

Just try to be a bit social.

7. Upsetting Your Room-mates

This is very important for students who will be staying on campus, many universities ensure freshers stay on campus see there is going to be a point in time. Maybe your loud-speaker booming so loud or your praying very aloud, it’s all too easy to forget there are humans living all around you.

We all know what boisterous Nigerian music sounds like, and often you’ll be the one facing it whilst reading late at night trying to finish an assignment.
So don’t make the mistake of upsetting the room mates, it will come back to bite you! That’s life!

8. Procrastination

Ill do it later, yeah maybe tomorrow but you’ve forgotten tomorrow never comes! why is it that the minute even the most diligent students get to university, all sense of planning goes out the window? Spoiler alert that’s how I got the tagline for my blog! UNDERgraduates doing GraGra before changing it to Aiders.
The moment students gain admission i.e become undergraduates they start to do gra gra.
They start procrastinating since they believe they are above correction.
In school you are very free, but how well you use that freedom will tell us how mature you are.

So why is it that the minute even the most diligent students get to university, all sense of planning goes out the window?

Contrary to popular belief, the best time to finish that essay is not 3am the morning it’s due. Somewhat unsurprisingly we can reveal that a little forward planning can help improve your grades and decrease your stress levels.

It will also give you an amazing sense of satisfaction as you head off to bed while your course-mates are still battling with their assignments

9. Sleeping through your lectures

If you don’t like to sleep raise your hands up let me flog you. See we all love sleep, but the harsh reality is that you came to the higher institution to learn, not snore or doze in class, so make it worth you time (and money!).
What makes people sleep during lectures is simple, chatting all through the night or watching movies (I’m guilty of this) or browsing through the night(I’m the boss in this kind of thing 😂)

A perfect morning is sequel to a perfect learning experience.

10. Never Calling home

“Pfft see when I get to school I wont be calling my parents anymore!” Seriously ? Dont worry the reality will hit you soon.
I said the same thing to myself when I was leaving home… But you know what? FAMILY remains Family..
I know you probably might have started your new exciting life at university now, but that doesn’t mean you should forget the people who’re important to you back home. This is a terrible mistake freshers and even stalites make.

It’s more than likely that everyone at home is missing you and would really appreciate updates on how you’re doing as well as some reassurance that you haven’t forgotten about them! You probably don’t know members of your family back home are bragging about you everywhere they go, especially If you are in a well respected university.

11. Never budgeting

Distinguished ladies and handsome gentlemen!, this is the biggest mistake every fresher makes trust me! If you are a student and you’ve never made this mistake you can use the comment box . See we know that University life is likely to be one of the best time of your life, but that doesn’t mean that all the rules should go out of the window!
Umm…you think you have more money in your account , that fateful day you’re gon’ get to the ATM point and its gon’ tell you “out of service” or “temporarily unable to dispense cash”

Fail to budget in the university and you could find yourself financially ruined for the whole semester, which is the complete opposite of best-times. Except you want to go from house to house to eat! Mhen! that shit brings down your self worth/esteem especially if you are a guy!.

Set yourself a budget for each week and stick to it.
Plan your life please!! Your future kids depend on the decisions you make now

Read Our Ultimate guide on: Creating a budget

12. Not backing up your work

You will hear this regularly from lecturers, friends and foes alike that backing up your work in the university is really really important.

As we’ve already mentioned, students have a bad habit of leaving things until the very last minute and if something unexpectedly happens at the wrong moment can turn a stressful situation into a truly horrendous one.

It’s worth noting too that there tends to be zero flexibility on university deadlines so man up, invest in a flashdrive and sign-up to some free online storage sites like Dropbox and Skydrive.

13. Leaving your referencing until the end

14. Worrying About Next Year’s Accommodation

Most universities in Nigeria prioritize accommodation for first year, do not be scared though! You won’t be homeless next year.

The first step is to carefully decide who you want to live with (for at least one whole year). It’s easy to make friends in your first semester but for your future sanity, take some time to work out who your long-term friends  could be. Be very choosy about that.

When the big accommodation hunt starts (somewhere around the end of the session to the beginning of the new session), stay calm and don’t rush into doing anything rash. You could pair with a friend in an alternative accommodation arrangements or vie for hostel accommodation.

The way to composing valuable talk notes is to compose something that invigorates your brain into recalling huge segments of data and clearly to compose something that causes you to comprehend the data.

These full talk notes might cover pages and pages of paper. A few student are glad to just reexamine from these notes, learning each and every sentence in exactly the same words, which may push you somewhat however except if you are asked explicitly to give a definition, draw a chart and notice a contextual analysis, you may end up confronting challenges. It is better in this way to make noticed that permit you to learn and afterward review the basic data yet that additionally permit you to comprehend the subject and have the option to apply your insight because of any inquiry presented. For instance; what are the preferences and impediments of economies of scale?

To do this you should begin by understanding the key components of the theme you have to update. When you have set up somewhere in the range of five and ten key components then you should hope to show some further detail, utilizing projectiles under every one of the key headings. These slugs ought to be sufficiently full to assist you with reviewing the data however not very point by point so they cause you to learn in parrot design. On the off chance that vital you can, at that point include further detail under every one of these projectiles and proceeding thusly until you have secured the entirety of the basic substance.

An ordinarily utilized strategy for taking talk notes is to apply the above philosophy inside a brain map. With mind maps you show your lecture topic on a solitary piece of paper. To begin a brain map you compose the subject heading in the focal point of the page and afterward, as opposed to utilizing visual cues, you draw arms spreading out of the theme heading, and rundown any important data toward the finish of each arm. You would then be able to expand these arms with ensuing point of interest utilizing further branches, to make a guide impact. The outcome is a visual portrayal of your insight, with the hypothesis being that it is simpler to review data when you can picture it, and a brain map is an incredible method to do this.
