2018/2019 CANDIDATES : 10 SECRETS YOU SHOULD KNOW AS A NEW STUDENT IN THE UNIVERSITY

1.Your first year (100level) in school is the most
important period of your stay. Hence, take caution
in selecting your friends and cliques. These friends
will either make you or mare your life. 2. Your first year (100 level) is the best period to
build a solid Grade Point (G.P) for yourself as a new
student. This is because some less complicated
courses (Introductory Courses) are
done during your first year. You are less
engaged in school sociopolitical activities (these activities can pose to be a great distraction). During
your first year, lecturers are more dedicated, patient
and punctual.
3. Participate in all group projects and
assignments. Oftentimes, test and examination
questions are picked from assignments given. 4. Rent an apartment that is close to your
campus; sometimes you may be totally out of cash
and trekking down to class may be the only option
available. Renting a house that is a stone throw
from school will save you unnecessary wastage of
money on transportation. 5. Ensure you equip yourself with all study
materials (textbooks, handout etc). Some lecturers
give extra marks if you buy their textbooks.
6. Endeavour to attend all lectures; be punctual and
attentive. Attendance record may be taken
unexpectedly; this fetches additional marks for the lucky few.
7. Get a reading partner or group in your
department. Your reading group should be
different from your casual friends, it should be of
mixed gender, members of the reading group
should take turn to teach and make the class as interactive as possible.
8. Map out your personal study time and habit , and
try to constantly stick with it. It is bad habit to
constantly adjust your reading time to suit your
personal activities rather your personal activities
should be adjusted to suit your study time.
9. Take all assignments, quiz and test seriously.
10. Study all past questions but do not rely on them
alone, read your textbooks and notes
