THREE REASONS OUR INSTITUTION SUCKS
As much as this seems to be a shallow ish, I've been trying
face everyday in school (The University of Nigeria, Nsukka
specifically), that I took the liberty of asking some
students the question, "what do you think are the top
three reasons this institution sucks?" Institution being
"unn" as a school and student body?" I also took the liberty
of posting their replies below, LOL without their permission.
For privacy purpose, I only included their first names. You
guys, please forgive me..so_ leggo
"The lecturing methods, the environment and lack of modern
equipments Asin for praticals and all", - Olachi
"It sucks because it doesn't give students a perfect platform
to develop all round. To break it down...In comparison with
other schools (janded mostly),they have a lot of extra
curriculum for under graduate programs which does not in any
way deviate their specialisation yet widens their perspective
about everything and brings a whole new level of
understanding about the important things of life. Unn do
routine a lot and believe me when I say it sucks damn hard
coz change is a constant thing and Nigeria Educational system
shouldn't be an exception;The second thing is that it needs
growth! Infrastructure wise! What I see everyday here is
resuscitation not resurrection! They are two different
things. Resuscitation has a lot to do with renovation and all
but resurrection has more to do with rebuilding and total
rehabilitation. We need more classrooms! Modernised thearter,
standard laboratories, recreation centers and better
refectories! I mean state of the art structure befitting of a
University that grooms young leaders of tomorrow;Student
welfare is zero! It sucks coz they take my money as its no
man's sweat and they don't give a shot about how I survive @
this jungle. That isn't right! I give you my money..u give me
your care! We good. But where is gonna be the trust of giving
you more money when you don't give a green Fk about how I
survive? How do I manage to get my courses registered when
ICT fails to upload it? How do re - write a course because
the lecturer carelessly lost my script? How do I go without
bathing for days because the works did not do their job?
There is a lot of hows! And till they start caring about
those little welfare of mine...Believe me, my institution is
still sucking!", -Love.
"They make things difficult for us Students; Their
staff has lackadaisical attitude towards their work they come
whenever they want; They are leaving in past glory." - Ernest
"Social Life; Environment_ via Nsukka as a whole; Then lastly
Curriculum." -Soma
"Department and facaulty nights...that's all. I don't think
the school has enough activities_ too limited. I also don't
like the idea of lectures going on till evening....it's
stupid, scratch that, it's stressful." -Micheal
"as a school, they are very rigid, not nice. They put
positions first before Students' ish" -Jay
"Exams, Exams, Exams" -Kingsley
"Student lecturer relationship; The Social Life; Creativity is not appreciated in Unn (University of Nigeria, Nsukka" -
Promise
" The fact that we have to write exams;
The fact that
we have to write exams;
The fact that we have to write
exams." - Marv
I believe we can all relate to their opinions, afterall, we
all go through the stress together. It's quite shameful some
of the things our schools lack; facilities, condusive lecture
environment, the overworking of Students and even some
ill-mannered students. In my opinion, a school should have
way more than education to offer. What happened to skill
improvement and Extra Curricula activities? Why are we mostly
uptight? Why do we get frustrated or depressed? These are a
few questions I'd ask and expect answers from the man or
woman (since I'm not anti-feminist) in charge of running our
schools, if I met Them, or Her or Him.
Sure we do have a say in all of this_ the chaos, the academic stress and never ending depression, Don't we?
Feel free to comment on your opinions folks.
