Why I Dropped Out Of Birmingham University – Lady Shares Experience by DyshApp(op): 11:38pm On Jan 07, 2025
A lady, simply identified as Ene, has given reasons why she dropped out of the Birmingham University, citing unpleasant experiences.

Ene, in a post on social media, on Tuesday, revealed that she dropped out of Birmingham University as she could no longer bear the terrible conditions.

She wrote, “I went to a private university. Phones were not allowed, girls weren’t allowed to make their hair below their shoulders, you cannot wear slippers before 4pm.

“You cannot cook in the hostel so you must buy 3 meals everyday, you will be suspended for missing chapel, you will be suspended for getting abused, once you get to school, you cannot leave again unless you sign an exeat that your parents call to confirm.

“Your department can literally drop you without telling you. When you get to 500 level, they come and tell you to switch to 200 level in another department because your results were poor. And you’ll pay fresh school fees.

“Security men will parade and if they see a boy and girl standing together, they’ll exploit them for money or threaten to set them up for expulsion.”

She noted that she could not cope with all the rules and regulations and had to drop out.

I mistakenly mistook this for University of Birmingham or Birmingham City University, but thought to myself, Oyinbo kids would not ever accept this nonsense.

I do not know of a Birmingham University where this sort of nonsense is the norm. I wonder if they meant Bingham University.

Exactly my question. Is she a graduate now? Yes or No.

She may not understand that the World is a VERY competitive place. No one cares about your failures unless you tell is as part of your success story.

Not cooking in an hostel is also discipline?

Nairaland would advertise for Birmingham University and would still push derailing Post about the same school for FP.

Anyways, if the lady can't give 4years out of her life to focus and study, then let her join Federal University and stop complaining

What are you guys saying?

If all that she indicated is true, then she is right to drop out of such school.

What kind of higher institution is that?

Discipline is the key to real success...whatever that cannot kill you,will only make you stronger.

If you decide to go to a Church school, then you should accept the terms and restrictions that comes with it!


ECWA Bingham University, New Karu, Nassarawa is a private University not too far from the outskirts of Abuja!
