Write JAMB and enter school first nah...

Bros get admission first. It has it's pros and cons depending on how you manage it.

To start with, your lecturers are human being. Hence, the need to be friendly or make friends with them.

Don't make friends with people base on what you need from them, cos most times reasons for making friends are not often realized, this may call for frustration eventually. Many lecturers in my alma mater "may never" do the favour of giving you good grades if you are their friend. But I assure you, you will likely not fail their courses.

There are more reasons to be friendly with ones lecturers in school than expecting good grades from them;
1. These lecturers have the power to do and undo. There was a time a friend overslept and didn't come for his test, having read over the night. He already had a rapport with the lecturer and the lecturer decided to overlook the test and grade the students exam over 100.
I had the privilege of rewriting an exam in a secluded place the following semester after my lecturer had marked my answer script and I didn't have the grade he expected me to have. If I was not one of the lecturer's boys, I wouldn't enjoy that privilege.

2. There are sometimes when there will be problem(s) with one's academic activity like missing script, department wahala, missing elective course, having problem with one of the lecturers in the department, The lecturers you are friendly with (mostly part adviser) "can" be of help in these situations.

3. Sometimes, one needs these lecturers recommendation to achieve some things like scholarship, post graduate admission, professional exams and some registration. Not having a rapport with these lecturers may make it so difficult and herculean to get their recommendation.

A female student should however be very careful relating with the male lecturers

Be yourself,there's no need to change yourself and stop overthinking.
