[quote author=dryakson]Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when making a choice of institution. I agree that private universities have advantages like the absence of strike, easy access to lecturers… Well, that’s about all. Public universities, federal and state, have a lot of advantages, from cheaper school fees, to the freedom to be an adult. Public universities expose you to the real world, introduces you to the hustle of life unlike private universities that consist of a lot of brats who are literally spoon-fed. They are so pampered, making difficult to face the real world when they become graduates. So here’s my case for choosing a public university. 1. Public universities allow for freedom and independence: Students in public universities enjoy the freedom to make decisions for themselves and learn to be almost independent. Private universities keep students within the four walls of their campuses and under certain rules more suited for teenagers than young adults. The laws in public universities are not imposed on the students; they are just the basic principles a normal student is meant to follow. It’s funny when I see pictures of private university students being punished or hear of certain rules like compulsory attendance of chapel, feeding time tables, dress codes, e.t.c. It is absurd; these are adults! 2. Cost of education: It is a lot cheaper to attend public university than a private one and this is not limited to school fees. Cost of living on public universities is also cheaper. Students cook their own meals and hav e access to shops on campus and in town where prices of goods and services are competitive. On the other hand, the cost of living on a private university secluded campus for one semester is enough to build a house. 3. Public university gives “exposure” to students: It’s more than obvious that public university students are ”sharper” than private university students. Private university students who are often referred to as “JJC” or “Learners” by public university students, live what I term “the microwave life” which is the easy life. In federal universities you get to meet all sorts: from cultists to Aristo chicks, people with different personalities. It makes one exposed to what life really is. One is exposed to the hustle and learns how to struggle for things. There are still brats in federal universities but most of them get to grow up when exposed to the hustle. 4. Life on and off campus is FUN: There are so many parties to attend, clubs and events. One gets to meet real people, one also learns to be real. There is a lot of gist and gossip, lot of things to laugh at. Rather than chapel, it’s clubbing. Dating is even fun in federal schools. Couples express love without fear as adults. One gets to see students that are rich and poor mingling as equals; students who express themselves through their dressing and not relegated to some uniform. 5. Hard work is compulsory Students in public universities have worked through exceptional odds to succeed; challenges that help one not take life for granted. Imagine a department of over a thousand students with a very small lecture hall or a lecturer who spends only twenty minutes in a class where he is meant to spend two hours, or one who only gives handouts. Faced with issues like these, students work extra hard to come out with well-deserved results. 6. Public universities produce more mature graduates: With all the challenges: strikes, nonchalant lecturers, freedom to express yourself as adult etc, public universities are more equipped for life after graduation. They know that things would not just be handed to them and are used to making decisions for themselves. https://m.premiumtimesng.com/arts-entertainment/167863-6-reasons-%e2%80%8byou-shouldnt-attend-a-private-university.html [/quote Well nice but I think private university is better is so many wise because I am product of private university and public university.These are the advantages of private universities: 1 easy access to lecturers and learning materials 2 easy way of collecting certificate and transcript 3 spacious lecture rooms 4 better interaction of children of those that matter in the society.I.e better connection 5 better hostel facilities 6. no strike ,no cultism and no intimidation The list go on and on 4 Likes |

Bode2: fallacy at the highest level! I am a student of OAU and I don't live a rough life. I am currently in 300 level and have never come across a cultist. In fact, I don't even know one. Life in itself is about struggle according to Hegel's dialectics. I have never witness any form of harassment or intimidation but on campus and off campus. An average OAU student is good, religious and well mannered and I think the same applies to UI.This isn't applicable to most public universities. Where I lived off-campus around a public uni; I've witnessed all forms of evil and harrasments; including robbery at gun point. A very close neighbour was killed on the same day he wrote his final paper... lol I can't post all, bro Let me take you to campus activities; I have a friend in a private uni who got his transcript the same day he applied. Can that ever happen in a public uni? Ordinary statement of result; I spent a whole week parading different offices, begging and all... I saw hell in a public uni. 3 Likes |

dryakson: Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when You forgot to mention the advantages. Private University The truth is that the quality of education in some private schools are far better than those of most state and federal universities pointers, the 75% attendance requirement is observed to the letter... means a student has to receive lectures on a particular course to the tune of at least 75% of the total lecture period to be qualified to take an exam. Good-news is that lecturer keeps an up-to-date attendance sheet. In private universities, it is mandatory for lecturers to come to class and lecture because they answer directly to school authority. Nigeria is gradually moving in the direction of India, where graduates with identical degrees are offered jobs either in managerial or middle cadre positions on the strength of their performance at the interview. In federal universities most of the lecturers do not take their jobs seriously, some don't go to class for a better part of the semester only to surface towards the end of the semester and rush the students by just "running through the course", just as some of them go to classes to tell tales and give notes without a thorough breakdown or explanation on the course. The administration of private universities is concise. For example, students who enrol for a four-year programme are sure of completing the programme within the specified period. Most public schools graduate may be intelligent and smart but are mostly reliant on others, majority aspire to work for others which aren’t so to private university graduate. They tend to be versatile. Public universities are not as prestigious as private universities, and some careers might be more difficult to enter after graduation. They tend to have what we call connection I will not subscribe completely to the notion that private universities are better than federal, but I will say they are better managed. 5 Likes |

Op tell us something about private primary and secondary schools before private universities, am a product of public university but if I get the financial muscle my children must attend private university. The so call public universities are no longer what they use to be, you can buy from question papers to marks and even results in public universities 80% of the students buys their admission. You graduate without any experience cos public universities don't have laboratories and workshops the so called professors don't come for lectures. Most of the experience lecturer in public universities lectures in private universities because they are paid promptly leaving the students of public universities to become matured men and women teaching themselves. sheep without Sheppard 3 Likes |

Acidosis: There are some parents who wouldn't send their wards to OAU or UI even if their wards score 399 in JAMB. Not everyone love a rough life amidst cultists, uncultured elements, congestion, stress, struggles, reading with candle sticks, queueing for water, harrasment, intimidation, etc.This Comment is unintelligent Sir. Some Parents would also never Send their Children to private Universities, no matter how rich they are; but that doesn't mean that Public Universities are better, or that Criticisms of Public Universities are void. I'm not saying you don't have a Point, but what you did in this Comment is a Fallacy of Logic(Non sequitur) , and I would have ignored it, but for you insulting the Op. |

Well, i'll say i totally disagree with the writer. In my school, which is a private university, there is room for students to have a say, it's more or less like a public institution where you have unrestricted access to whatever you want. This is an institution which is based on the principles of integrity. well, i don't really know much about other private institutions, but in my own school(Achievers Uni), i can tell you that the afore-mentioned reasons are baseless. The best schools (Ivy Leagues) in the world today are mostly Private Institutions, so what's the buzz about? 3 Likes |
