A Day in the Life of a Kogi State University Student
What to expect from your everyday university schedule as a student, from studying to socializing
You’ve probably already guessed that a university schedule is a lot different from your schedule in high school. How you balance everything from classes, studying, homework, socializing, extracurricular activities and even big parties changes a lot from your senior year of high school to your freshman year at the university.
Learning to manage everything is an important step and a key to success at the university.
The dorms are really fun and you want to make sure that you have time to meet people and just hang out or go to SUG sponsored events, movie nights, dinners, or whatever.
KSU CLASSES
The biggest part of the university schedule is how your classes fit into your day. A university student might take eight or nine courses per semester.
Those classes probably meet two or three times per week, but the average university semester is typically equivalent to a year of high school study. So if you’re only meeting two or three times a week, you can bet that there will be tons of work to be done outside of class.
Most classes will start no earlier than 8 AM, except for certain special classes and sometimes physical education classes.
STUDYING
Expect your college schedule to be filled with studying. Professors might not even grade your homework, but you’ll be expected to know everything for the tests. Did you ever think you would voluntarily sit around with a bunch of people and complain that your professor didn’t do enough examples in class or assign enough homework problems? At some point in the university, you probably will.
CAMPUS LIFE IN KSU
Freshmen are almost always required to live on campus for their first year, and many continue to live off campus for a few years. It can be easy to slack off when you have tons of friends all in the room next to you. It might be wise to have a free period in the late morning or afternoon when everyone is in class so that you can catch up on schoolwork.
The hostel life is really fun and you want to make sure that you have time to meet people and just hang out or go to SUG sponsored events, movie nights, dinners, or whatever.
Students can also choose to live off-campus or be a part of a fraternity or sorority and live at their Greek organization’s house. Off-campus is usually expensive but further from the action. Greek life is a middle ground of cost and there is probably always something going on, but this might be distracting. Most fraternities will hold big parties at some point. Some do it every week.
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES IN KSU
Extracurricular activities are a great way to meet friends, have a great time, and discover a new passion. You’ll want to schedule time for at least one of these at some point. If you like singing, try an a cappella group. If you’d like to work out, do a class at the gym or try a martial art. Do you like sports, but don’t want to do the whole varsity college athlete thing? Join a club or play intramural sports.
Keep in mind the things at the university that might happen on short notice such as free concerts or movie screenings. Maybe one of your classes is hosting a guest lecturer. There’s something strangely fun about seeing your morning class professor and peers at night and discussing Plato or dinosaurs that have been dead for millions of years.
KSU HANGOUT SPOT
There are so many relaxation centers in KSU, where gossip is the major thing, girls go their to talk of who has new clothes,shoes,bags or whose hairstyle is better.
Boys go their to admire girls,talk about how many girls they have dated so far.
KSU celebrities go their to plan events or hold entertainers meeting.
TALENTS IN KSU
KSU is gifted with so many talents ranging from fellowship President, choir, papa/mama.
Then we have the sport ones those ones play football, basketball, handball, and those who play bets.
Apart from that all KSU "guys are artists" and all "girls are models" both short and tall.
SOCIAL LIFE IN KSU
Every Friday night you dressed to club at Harbour bay, After dancing and walking the whole compound you will end up trekking back to your lodge.
Sometimes the police patrol team will arrest you.
And sometimes you get home safely and start disturbing your neighbours for garri to drink. At every event on campus you always hang around looking for who to take you in when you don't have the #200 gate pass.
NOTABLE THINGS IN KSU
1:Queue: You queue for everything, at the bank you queue, post utme, GST exam, to sign course form, bursary, even at the school cafeteria.
2:Rumor: In KSU there is nothing like circular, you get all your information through rumour which always turn out to be real.
3:Till day break (TDB) Night class in KSU is not actually for the purpose of reading, we go to night classes for different reasons. To charge phones, To watch films, To play games, To press our clothes and 90% of the guys go their to look for girls and girls for guys.
4:Injury time: That period of exam when you have exhausted your foodstuffs, that ordinary garri becomes what you can steal.
CELEBRITIES IN KSU
Celebrities in KSU can trek from Faculty of Agriculture to the school stadium eating groundnut or sugar cane, They even queue at the ATM to withdraw just #1000,
During events you will see them sag their trousers walking up and down disturbing the MC or event planners to call them on stage, after which they come back to the audience looking for who to shake them and compliment their performance, after the show they trek back home and sometimes sleep the police cell.
