Abuja” (Flowerbudnews): Getting admission into the University was one of my happiest moments ever. . I was very excited when I got admission into the University of Abuja.
After preparing myself to go back to school again, though it wasn’t an easy process, but it was an exciting experience and a memorable one.
Finally, I when I got to the gate of the University,, I becameI so nervous and began missing home. I however, encouraged myself to be focused.
After I was allocated to my accomodation by the hostel portress, I parked my box and every other belongings of mine and prepared my bed, waiting for the next day to complete my physical screening.
It was a very long night to me because, I felt lonely and bittered because I had no friends then.
The next morning, I took my shower and prepared a quick breakfast and left for my physical screening.
I was successfully screened and I became happy, then I got back to my hostel and had a restful day.
I started attending lectures that same week, though it wasn’t easy for me to grab everything because I wasn’t too focused because I missed home so badly.
As time flew, I got used to everything and even made friends at my Department and hostel.
There are beautiful and handsome students in University of Abuja.
Different types of people with different characters. People are friendly here and very easy and lenient to be with.
After my one month experience, I can say that University of Abuja is not for the weak.
Being in University of Abuja is a privilege because it’s one of the best Universities in Nigeria if not the best. (Flowerbudnews)
