set the video to 1080p for better viewing experience

So, they tell you to apply for Jupeb, sit for the exam and apply for admission, but nobody tells you what happens after you actually gain admission? Well, I am here to spill all there is to know about life in University as a Direct Entry student.

In this video, I share my FIRST YEAR EXPERIENCE as a Direct Entry student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). I go over my honest journey: the challenges, the things I wish I knew, and practical tips for surviving and thriving as a UNILAG student. Whether you are just gaining admission through Direct Entry/JUPEB, or you are already in uni and curious about other students’ experiences, this video is for you.

What to expect in this video:
my storytime as a Direct Entry student in UNILAG
tips and tricks to survive first year
things you should now before entering 200 level through JUPEB/Direct Entry
advice for students starting university life in Nigeria

If you’re looking for real, relatable advice about student life in UNILAG (or Nigerian Universities in general), you’ll definitely enjoy this.
