First of, beware of 419/scammers they are everywhere around campus looking for who to deceive and chop dia money...secondly, don't have time for gals, jst b as casual as possible with very few needed ones...then study hard, know ur brain capability, it's not by night class or tutorials tho u may eventually need them....avoid/flee cultism, u can still bleep if u want, it doesn't necessarily affect ur performance. Bleep d ladies u want protecting ursef ofcourse but don't become so attached to them, focus on ur books and socialise ....be friendly...niggaz before b***hes wink goodluck grin

Do your clearance and pay all necessary dues
Know the rules and regulations of the school, ask older students about the environment, know the places to keep off.
Befriend intelligent and hardworking people.
Be nice to your course rep
Try to engage in some academic projects, it will give you experience and help you meet enlightened minds, who might be off help to you in the long run.
Always Read ahead and stay focused.


Lastly, we are in the era were hardwork doesn't necessarily mean succes, be very sharp and smart.

Anglomoz 101 is not a core course, u re either in or out but bro lemme advice u, don't register it if u no get mind.

And shud in case u re for awo hall, hope u re razz n xposed sha cos those guys ehn *lipsealed*

If u knw sey u no fit withstand fine woman, and u dey waka go klass, don't ever pass moremi hall, I tell u o bros and avoid pull parties too. Moreso, never travel to osogbo for one stupid party o

If u no fit trek from ur hostel go academics, or u be ajebuti, carry ur okada money for hand o or bus fare and be watchful cos u fit dey in front of SUB and u dey go amphi, na the front e dey,those okada ppl fit carry u turn go ajose come back again drop u. U dull am be that.


And don't trust any OAU chick, they can finish ur sch fees for forks and figers , fivers or New bukka.

My simple advice
God is ur strenght.
Go n succeed!

IF YOU ARE A GIRL
1. Boy will tell u, u are beautiful and smart just to get into your panties. You are the easiest target becos they know u know nothing, so be wise. Don't become the varsity public toilet everyone can get to use.
2. Leave the mean girl act for those in high school, no one really gives a crap when you get to varsity.
3. You think you are all grown up? Lol trust me u might be legal now but you are not grown at all. Make wise decision, so that when you get to your final year you don't look back and say damn I was very stupid.
4. Please stop wearing 6 inch heels to lectures I just find this to be rather stupid. Killing your feet for what? undecided

IF YOU ARE A GUY

1. Don't spend on what you can't afford simply because a few girls gave you some attention, they are doing it to save their small pocket money at your expense.
2. Reduce on the number of drink-ups you host or those you go to, you still have the chance to drink your life away when you start earning your own money. And trust me when you actually go up and become a real man, you won't see the significance of drinking just as much.
3. Don't do go to extremes to make friends. Be yourself and those who are worthy to be your friends will simply become your friends. Never try to buy friends

(1) all course thats starts with "1" e.g. ECN101,GST123, RLG154 are those you should be concerned with on the full departmental timetable, i know this sound silly i didnt know this when i got admission years back, i ended up copying all on the board year1,2,3 and final inclusive that year...lol
(2) When you finally settle down to studies please dont let first semester grades deceive you into believing you are a genious, you can have CGPA 4.9 at end of first semester and end up graduating with 3rd class after 4 years,trust me im talking from experience, forget that rubbish notion you have 10 A1 in WAEC it doesnt count in tertiary institution.
(3) Get involved in social event to a controllable minimum.

Remember that your primary reason for being in school is to learn and get a good degree. Having said that, you also need to balance academics with social life.

Also, do not start your semester aiming for a 2.1, try a first class and if you fail, you would be on a strong 2.1

May God be with you #bless

ueskman: At last, after two years of seeking admission into tertiary institution, now m admitted to Oau.
Need help from you ppl, Whatt are those things am supposed to know before stepping into that school? kind of nervous, help pals, thanks in advance.

it's lyk u ar lost here. Sori for that. Anglo-moz is the car park for angola hall and mozambique hall. Angola hall is strictly for fresh male student and mozambique hall is also strictly for fresh female student. Anglo-moz is very popular because d place always gt in d evening where u will see students standing or sitting in twos i.e a boy and a girl parrol. Hope u nw get it

1. Your first semester gpa matters a lot. If you miss 4points in 100L, hmmm it takes grace to make first class.

2. In my school, freshers lecture ends by 2pm, but I don't go back to my room until 5pm; let's just say I was a triangular student. (Hostel, class and library). Time management is very important! Don't play around because you have the time to play.

3. Past questions! Nigerians lecturers are VERY lazy! They barely have time to set undergrad questions (postgraduate students is their focus). Study with the aid of past question. Believe me, the real exam would be as easy as the past questions you solved.

4. You shall have no girlfriend!!!!! Girl-friend will do.

5. Attend classes! Don't take advantage of your freedom, by boycotting class activities.

6. Buy departmental textbooks, even when you don't need them, If OAU is in anyway like my school, buying compulsory textbooks, especially MTH, CHM and BIO goes a long way in influencing your result. If you don't buy those textbook AR/missing scripts awaits you.

5. Don't hang out with stallites* odikwa, very risky.


NB: If you know you don't want a first class degree, don't work for it in 100L, because if you work hard and you are unable to keep up the pace in subsequent level, it's highly disastrous o.


Source: I had a perfect first class result (5.0) in my 100L first semester.

University is a weird place with different set of people. majority of who are confused or purposeless. As a fresher, most of ur course mates will want to brag abt their intellectual ability. Don't be intimidated, especially if u ar an average student. Some will even stand in class and challenge d lecturers as if dey knew better. But ironically, most are empty barrels. See urself as an average student that enthusiastically seeks for improvement on a daily basis. Work with d previous set and get d right materials. Make judicious use of ur time and surround yourself wit d like minded people. Humble yourself, be smart but dnt be dubious. Dnt isolate yourself inorder to be informed. stress is inevitable, prepare for it. Above all, know God because He's d only one that can make u succeed. Wish d very best.

Stay away from boys and especially big girls. All those big girls are nothing but prostitutes. Manage your finances. Its worse than living hell to be in school without money. Attend religious programs. And stay away from SUG and activists. And don't get involved in cultism and their people.and stay away from exam malpractice, else u will be quickly be sent back home before u get to the school.
And accept my congratulations

Op, concentrate more on courses wt high units. If u are a science student, abeg concentrate ur attention on MTH101-5units, PHY101-4units and CHM101-4units.
Concentrate less on special elective courses pls as they are countless in ur cgpa

although, academics is d first assignment in school bt u still have to add values to urself.. Join progressive associations like, rotaract club, drug free club, man o war, mssn, ujcm, nd d rest.. Get urself involved in unionism as u wil gain so many things from it.. U can start from at d faculty or departmental level.. It will definitely add value to u..

Believe me it's not "Extremely difficult" am a living proof of that, I don't have a full testimony yet, as I am still an undergraduate. But from my experience so far, 100L is the easiest level to make good grades.
