mine is different..
Spent about 4 years at home. before somehow finding myself in GHana in 2011.
then money issues suddenly struck my mum in my 2nd year.
Now I've been at home for 10 months now..
I dont wanna study computer science in National open university!
And I'm sure I'm not a dullard.
Its so depressing when you always were a leading student in high school, to see people who couldn't even match you graduating, and you stuck.
I'm so damn tired of life..

I wrote my UME, WASSCE and NECO exams same year and gained admission that same year.

Was never at home. God has been merciful.

Awww. I can totally understand, and I'm sure you're better off now smiley. I don't really see it much of a success entering school same year, cos some people still graduate and spend four years at home. Yea, I guess I was just lucky.

Same here, got admitted in 2010. 3 weeks later, ASUU's 6 months strike set in. Resumed in march 7, 2011. By dec 4 the same year, another 2 months strike struck. Resumed for year 2 on feb 2012. Got into yr 3 oct last year, and just few days to 2nd semester exams, the thunderous strike hit us again on July 1, 2013. *clap for this people, mehn*
By dec 31, 2013 (if the strike still lingers till then) i'd have spent 4 good years just in 3 levels which will mean 5 years spent on a 4-year course.

Bullshit.

I finished my Sec. Sch in 2008 and gained admission to my preferred course, mass comm in UNIBEN in 2010. This was after Auchipoly had denied me admission despite scoring 211 out of 300 in MPCE without sitting for any screening exam. Thank God I'm now a prospective final year student, pending when strike is called off.
