Did you ever have time to read before class or make notes? Does your campus allow for printed handouts?

Well, personally I didn't read much before class but I think just going through the handbook is sufficient. It helps a bit when the class is going on. As for making notes, I wasn't crazy about those either. I actually marked my textbooks based on what was focused on in class. I also jotted a lot in class. That helped save precious study time. The lecturers mostly gave soft copies of their presentations or notes to the class and on very few occasions did we need to get hard copies. I recommend investing in at least one good book per course and a good drafts book (personally, I liked Ogbuanya, Oniekoro and Dadem. Don't worry. The names will make sense when you get there)




Let's talk about the food? What are the good food spots around campus or in town?

Abuja is a decent foodie destination but town is like 45 minutes away. The food on campus comes from several places. There are restaurants in mammy and in hostels and around hostels. There's even one in the auditorium (those guys made a killing during break). If you are wise you can pace yourself without spending too much money. Gala was my friend but suya was my bestie (the suya guys all knew my name lol). But for good food, I'd say try everything and see what works for you. Personally, I liked the smoothies from Madam Fruit, the spaghetti from Mama Aisha, the jollof rice from hostel B, the suya from Madam Fruit's neighbours (my guys) and sometimes I'd get chips and sausage next to hostel B.


Any fun experiences you had during your stay? Share with us.

Well, there were a few parties and stuff but parties are really hit or miss, in my opinion. The really special things were a movie night that was for charity and a variety night. One of the students wrote and directed a play (shout out to @anaecherie on IG) and it was marvelous. The most fun thing about Abuja Campus for me though, was Dr Olówó (a short version of his name). He was an absolute gem, just incredibly hilarious. He always cracked me all the way up.


What's The Cost Of Living? Does one need 30 billion in the akant?

Cost of living isn't too high. I was able to survive on an average of N600 a day for the whole day (I don't eat much). But a regular size meal is about N400. So you definitely don't need to be swimming in kudu (money).

What's the preferred means of transportation? What's the transport fare from the airport?

Many people had cars but most people walked everywhere. The distances are not long at all. But there are okadas and a lot of people I know had a particular taxi guy they knew and would call if they needed to go to town. I live in Abuja so I'm not sure of the fare directly from the airport but I heard someone say something scary like 10 grand. I think the key is to not tell them you're going to bwari until after the price has been agreed on lol. I think seven grand is what would be a more likely price though.



Any Strict Rules On Dressing To Class?

Well, yes. White must be white not off white. Black dresses and skirts must be knee length or longer. No sleeveless clothes and guys must always wear a black or regulation tie.


What did do to cool off after class or during the weekend?

Lol, I often went home. School can be kinda dry but the key is if you have time since town isn't so far, Jabi Lake Mall was an option for many people and I suppose restaurants and parks as well. Going to town on the weekends was a steady thing for lots of people whether they lived in Abuja or not. Personally, I just often went to sit down at home lol.
