Yaaay! In Ife at the moment and really enjoying myself. Missed seeing the funny posts on here. I get a little bit irritated and overly critical when OAU students gush about the school and hype it. Once again,despite myself,i am reminded that the school is really a great one.

I went to my room and saw some Part1b students forming levels-don-change and pompous after they found out i was a fresher and i had tried to ask very simple questions about the room.I was a little bit disappointed because i expected much more maturity from University students but then it was Angola hall so i understand perfectly well. My advice to you guys would be to develop a thick skin before coming here because not all your seniors and mates would be mature,a very good number will behave like babies and yeah,learn to be less shy and very confident.You'll need it very much not to be taken for a ride here

And Engineering people,get ready to burst ya asses on books. Our maths is 5 unit,chemistry is 4,physics is 4 .

And everyone, buy good shoes because you'll walk. Scratch that,you'll run long distances from one Lecture Theatre to another for classes that follow each other.

Bottom line is that,the school is not just about being academically intelligent. You need physical toughness and must be able to think on your feet and improvise. This was not how i imagined my university education would look like but we thank God. Prepare yourself for the worst here. I am not sure but we will have to struggle for virtually everything here,from water,to space for charging,to class notes,to food,to receiving lectures. I exaggerated a little bit but do not expect to be handled like glass here.

Haydot95,you have issues oh and it was not my shrine that inflicted you with these ones because no gods are this wicked. Instead of doing something about your revoked payment,you keep playing with Dazzleme here I'm leaving probably on tuesday,if you come soon enough,we can get to see.

Dazzleme,i have told you to stay away from that boy. He is a hooligans. Don't worry,i'll give you deji01 or uumm when we resume.

Anyway,later guys. Lemme go and download movies while i can. Larer

What personal items and other things do u advise us to bring along

Ariyke:
Block L,M,N,S,T,U belong to the upper part of moz Hall and the main challenge of staying there is water cus they have to come to lower moz to get water everyday for people who belong to this block it's advisable to come to sch with maybe 25liter jerry can to store water *chill it has its own advantage which is the buttery which is closer to ur block*

Block O,P,Q,R,V,W,X and Y belong to the lower part of moz and it is closer to tap area buh u might need jerry can too as people from upper part will always come to get water from ur side *dont be too happy cus u have to go to upper moz to get ur goodies from the buttery there*


*alert* come with many #10 change as much as possible attimes peeps with #50, #100 will be richer than u guys as the anthem of the whole of Oau is "No change"

Don't mind me I no get paper today

what is buttery

esharp:

Timmytimmy:
I uploaded mine yesterday night.

did you upload the print out or the certificate itself

moyes5757:
thanks ma sure nigga...i av d pdf of 2 of dem and some oda textbooks for engineering sha

pls where did u get the pdfs from? i`d like one too

when i try to upload my certificates it keeps saying an error has occured. are there any rules or something b4 u can upload?

also the verification of particulars page says my UTME No. is my name and provides my UTME No. as matriculation no. is this how it was last year?

is the photo supposed to be 10cm x 11cm itself or is it when scanned. and who has any idea what the pixel is about?

Alanpoza:
Can I print for another bank?? + Does it have to be coloured print out

It doesnt have to be coloured

can we request for bedspace before paying acceptance and school fees

after printing acceptance slip, what next please?

Ezechinwa:
First i say, congratulations...

now, my advice... it doesnt matter if your brillant or dull during your secondary school days, this is the University... it very different..

as for books, inasmuch as it is imperative to buy books also consider downloading PDF books online , believe me, you will move mountains...


finally, Aim to make 1st class... at worst you will land on a 2.1 .. merry christmas

PDF books such as which?

dabriggs:
Which of the specific Engineering sub-discipline were you accepted into?

civil engineering

I recently gained admission into a nigerian university but we haven`t resumed yet. I would be very glad to get my hands on recommended textbooks, course outline and so on for year one.Words of advice/study tips also needed

SaintRobs:

(6) Notification of Admission
(7) Bio-data form
(Course registration form
(9) Hostel Slip (optional).

PLS WHEN IS THE REGISTRATION AND CLEARANCE. ALSO WHEN WOULD SCHOOL RESUME

I`ve seen a book called Essential Engineering Mathematics by Michael Batty. Is it the same famous engineering mathematics that we will use in year 1.

Leem4:
when are you resuming

hopefully may 2015

pwreshbawz:
I was given food tech. But heard we'll be doing the same thing in 100lvl. Textbooks to get haliday physicS. Bonday mathematics and abbart chemistry

are these books available online? also how about the course outline(topics)

I created this thread so engineering students can share their problems.I am really interested in finding out about studying engineering. I have been given admission into OAU FOR 2014/2015. I am highly interested in any tips such as recommended textbooks and course outline on studying engineering.
