MTN Scholarship 2015/2016

12 Things Every Fresh Student Must Know

Dedicated to all Fresh Student on Campus 

I want to say a big Welcome come to you, without much ado let us get to business

1.     Don’t rush things, be it registrations or payment, this is because money paid out of mistake are often not refunded and if it is registration, you might pay an extra fee to get the error corrected.

2.     Always pay attention to instructions and have an extra copy of any document that has the university logo

3.     Go to lecture hall as early as you can because there is competition for seat and when lecture commences for the day make sure you write down something

4.     Be friendly with everybody and ask questions when necessary, this will help, as you will later realize information dissemination is poor in Lautech (well thank God for lautechbank.com). A test or registration can be done without your consent so feel free to ask questions from your colleagues.

5.     Some free tutorial are available in school join one if you think you are not clear with anything.

6.     Make the library your best friend, strike a balance between your social life and academic life.

7.     Attend all practical classes

8.     Know what works best for you, don’t try to imitate anybody you were born an original don’t die a copy!

9.     Read with pencil to underline salient points, read all you have been taught in a day before 12am

10.  Learn to use your brain and not your head (be intelligent).

11.  Important ” STAY AWAY FROM NEGATIVE PEOPLE WITH NO SENSE OF DIRECTION ” they are very much around.

12.  And most importantly don’t forget the ‘G’ (God) factor

Cheers to Your Success,
