7 Things You Should Do Before Lectures Kickoff As A Unilorin Fresher

If you are a student in the “better by far” university, you would have known the things you didn’t regret doing at the onset of your freshman first-semester session. 

The stress and sweat that comes after the free weeks of school will hang you in the neck that you’d have less time to create for other things in your schedule. School routines, transport, sustainability, and social life are all knotted into campus activities.You would have wished you had spared the time and thought to do something before the school is fully grounded in academic activities.

If you are a fresher at UNILORIN, consider doing these things before the lectures kicks off! 

1. Know the campus

You don’t have to wait till you’ve got your first lecture before you start hunting for where they will hold. Timetables of each department do come out with their various venue, right before the lecture starts. This would save you a lot of stress. 

Therefore, you can start looking at the map to find your lecture halls. You don’t want to be among the ones that would start sprinting to find their class, don’t join the herds of those that would struggle and pant to make it to the first lectures in their prime.

2. Attend freshers nights

Fresher nights flyers would be everywhere urging you to not miss the fun and party, mostly outside the campus. The one on the campus is the one you wouldn’t want to miss either, you can choose depending on whether you stay in or out of the campus. 

The night is always young when freshers nights happen. Unwind, feel the music and dance, shout out to the stars and jump high like there’s dawn!

3. Mingle

Okay, you don’t want to do everything in school in a solo style especially when the lecture starts and you don’t have a walking partner or your regular seatmates. Don’t just waste away the few less active weeks locked up somewhere, spread out through the web of students like you, and find your friends. 

Seeing various groups of students, helping each other out, and doing stuff together might leave you out. Start with getting to meet your coursemates, and mingle. Avoid rushing off lecture theatres to go back to your hidden place because you are single.

4. Know your lecture halls

You don’t have to wait till you’ve got your first lecture before you start haunting for where they will hold. Timetables of each department do come out with their various venue, right before the lecture starts. Would save you a lot of stress. 

Therefore, you can start looking at the map to find your lecture halls. You don’t want to be among the ones that would start sprinting to find their class, don’t join the herds of those that would struggle and pant to make it to the first lectures in their prime.

5. Know the best wifi spot

The advantage of having free access to the internet in Unilorin leaves students to create webs dispersedly at various wifi spots on campus. These webs create traffic on the internet due to the large load of users on that specific location. 

You should try and figure out the best wifi spot that will always be your very own suitable internet palace before the lecture starts. If not, you might find out about it much later when almost new webs are being created. 

6. Get your accommodation 

Before the lecture starts, you definitely should think of your accommodation. You don’t want to go through the school stress and transportation squabbles at the same rate. 

Considering where you will be coming from, you might have to choose suitable accommodation on or off-campus. It’ll be easier if you live inside the campus but the choice is yours.

7. Figure out the right tutorial

This last one is important, as the lecture is about to kick off you might need to get familiar with various tutorials on campus. Most students need tutorials to help curb the lags in academic triumph.

Mostly, private tutorials will be the first offer you’d see and along the line, after the lecture starts you would see a lot more organized students that willingly volunteered to help the freshers. It’s left to you to figure out which you’d prefer.

Don’t just idle away your time while you have it. And try to not miss out on events and amazing place you can get to hang out with your mates. Get other necessary things done to get ready for the upcoming lecture weeks that follows. Be one step ahead and get ready!
