When you got admission into school you may be overwhelmed by the newness of it. But keep these common costly mistakes in mind as you go through your first year on Campus to make sure that you are properly setup for the rest of your university career and your life thereafter.



10 Costly Mistakes Students Make While On Campus.

#1 Lack of Proper Guide

One of the mistakes University students make in their first year is that they don’t have proper guide. As a matter of fact, they behave as if they were the first people to get admitted.

Funny enough, some of them think once they see their name on the admission list, that is all. Unfortunately, this has led to the downfall of many students. Some end up dropping out of school.

As a rule, what every fresh student should do is to ask intelligent questions about their school, department, and other areas. Therefore, you need to be guided in the following areas as a fresh student;

Resumption date
Clearance date
Required documents
Updates on course registration
School fees payment deadline
Reading pattern
Structure of examination question
Marking scheme
How to avoid missing scripts or absent cases
Understanding how to cope with school stress.

#2 Giving Room For Distraction

As a first-year student in any Nigerian University, giving room for distraction is the beginning of your failure. Sincerely, there are different distractions on campus and they come in different form.

Try to identify these distractions and distanced yourself from them. Some of the common distraction you may encounter on campus are;

Social activities
Pretty girls and handsome boys
Parasitic relationship
Campus fellowship.

It is always important for you to set priorities as a student, this will enable you to make use of your time productively.

#3 Social Life

This is one of the most common mistakes university students make in their first year. Having a social life on campus is not only good but necessary. However, don’t allow too many social activities to distract you from your study.

So, by the time you want to make friend with everybody and attend all shows that come your way, then there is a problem. Try to minimize your social life and don’t allow it to overshadow your studies.

#4 Skipping Classes

Skipping classes is another mistake students make. They will always say “Who Class help”. Well, if the class is not helping anybody, then what are you doing in school?

#5 Start Reading When Exam Is close

This particular habit is common among most students. They will not read until the examination timetable is out. They will end up reading aggressively and some may even fall sick.

In fact, most Nigerian University health centers are always occupied during the examination period. This is as a result of unnecessary reading stress students drew to themselves.

#6 Focus more on Dressing

This is also among the costly mistakes University students make in their first year. They will rather be slaying than taking their studies seriously. In fact, they can even spend their school fees and textbook money on fashion.

#7 Going To Night Class In Group

This is very common among 100L students. They will always go to night class in group. And they end up spending more time joking and discussing and less time studying.

#8 I Know It All Attitude

Most first-year students always have this ” I Too Know Attitude”. They will never humble themselves and learn. However, when their first result is published, most of the ITK students will humble themselves unconsciously.

#9 Not Taking GST Courses Serious

Most first-year students in Nigerian Universities never take their GST courses serious. Some will assume it is very simple and end up reading a day to exam. While others simply hate doing GST.

However, if you don’t take your GST courses serious, it may affect your GPA.

#10 Trying To Please Everyone

The last mistakes University students make in their first year is trying to please everyone. This is simply not possible. Always do the right thing and forget what people think about you.
