Being an undergraduate in
a university is a great feat
but it cannot be compared
to being an undergraduate
in the 1960; then it was
considered epochal.
Ask people who went to
universities during the
period when you’ll be lucky
to find 20 students in a class
and they will tell you
education during those days
was worth it. They’ll tell you
there were no distractions
and it was about work and
play and work again.
The University College which
later became the University
of Ibadan is the first
university in the country and
being a student in the
university was attaining an
impressive height.A lot has changed in the
Nigerian academic system
especially in the tertiary
institution. Gone are the days
when school cafeterias
provided balanced diet meal
to students and the only
thing they needed to worry
about was getting the food
from the plate to the mouth.
The days where students
could afford to seat
anywhere in class because
they was enough space to
go round; when student
hostels were cleaner than 5
star hotels and each student
got his own space and there
was no need to squat.Students nowadays will tell
you there was no better time
to go to school than now. To
them, the old universities
were too strict as students
had to sometimes wear
robes like they were at
Hogwarts. They say
undergraduates in those
days were treated like
secondary school students
with strict everyday rules to
guide them.
