Private Or Public Universities Which Is Best For You, Check Out!

Private or Public? which is best for you,which do you prefer.

Many students these days choose private universities when making a choice of institution. Still may others swear that public universities still produce better quality graduates!

Here is a brief comparison between private universities and public universities in Nigeria.


×Funding


The major difference between private and public universities is in how they are funded. Public schools are funded by the Government while private schools are funded by individuals and organizations.

Unfortunately, most Government funded universities have fallen into varying stages of decadence – with government falling behind on funding. On the other hand, private schools seem to be better funded which somewhat affects the quality of education there
Verdict: Private Universities Win This


×Tuition


Funding affects tuition. And since private universities are privately funded, they are obviously more expensive. Tuition in private universities is approximately 9-10 times higher than it is at a public university. Some people even attest that the tuition can build a comfortable 2 bedroom apartment!
This makes them inaccessible to lower class families (except they get a scholarship).

Verdict: Public Universities Win This


×Prestige


Just the word ‘private’ gives the impression of exceptionalism and prestige. Private is exclusive and it’s not for everyone. Students in private universities carry a sense of being in a better situation than their public counterparts.
Is this really an advantage? Some people think so.

Verdict: Private Universities Win This


×Strike Action


Except you live under the rock, you must have heard of the numerous strike actions by academic and non- academic staff of public universities.
Academic staffs go on strike so frequently that a four year course ends up lasting for 6 years (that is if you are lucky).

It was in the wake of these issues (which seemed to defy all solutions) that parents started seeking better alternatives – fueling the private universities ‘business’. So far, I have not heard of any academic staff strike in a private university (though I may be wrong)

Verdict: Private Universities Win This


×Ease Of Getting Admission


Try getting into any of the ‘ivy league’ public universities (Like UI, Unilag or Ife) to read a good course, and you will realize that you have to pass Jamb very well!

Private universities on the other hand even have admission options that automatically accept students to read certain courses! They have made getting into the university so easy that the rigor required to get into a public school is being ‘looked down on’

In my opinion, students need to ‘sweat’ a little to gain University admission, so they can value it!

Verdict: Public Universities Win This.


×Lecturer/Student Relationship


Students in private universities generally build stronger, more personal relationships with their lecturers as there are avenues designed to increase communication and dialogue between them.

This generally does not happen in public universities.
Lecturers in the private schools seem to owe the students the duty to be available to them, unlike in the public schools. This increase in communication may lead to a better learning environment

Verdict: Private Universities Win This.


×Developing Independence and Street Wisdom

Public universities expose students to the real world in terms of the hustle and bustle of everyday life unlike private universities that consist of semi –spoilt children who are literally spoon-fed.

They are so pampered (I hear some schools even do their laundry for them) that they may find it difficult to blend into the real world when they graduate.

Some might argue this point, claiming that they need time to study, etc but what sort of backbone would they be developing being treated this way. These are undergraduates who should be growing into adulthood!

The rules in some private universities are so ‘childish’ that it underscores the joy and essence of being in University. This is the stage in their lives where they need to become very independent as they transition to adulthood.

Verdict: Public Universities Win This.



×Curriculum and exams


The curriculum of private universities may not be as rigorous or difficult as the public universities. And to make matters even worse, there are rumors that lecturers in some of the ‘well known’ private universities have been given a mandate to ensure all their students pass. Where is the incentive for the students to study?

If you were such a lecturer, what would you do? Little wonder there is a flurry of first class graduates from these universities!

No such sentiments exist in the public universities – lecturers have no qualms failing you if you don’t sit up. That is why students who desire first class and second upper in the public universities go through so many rigors to study. No wonder they are usually preferred by some employers.

Verdict: Public Universities Win This.


×Learning Conditions


The class-size of public universities is a real problem. At public universities, the students are so many that they even spill outside the lecture hall, with students sitting on the floor, window frames and even on the lecturers table!

How easy can it be to actually learn under these conditions?

Students here have to work exceptional hard to succeed. Some lecturers do not even attend class (with no consequences) and even those that show up may not have much to offer – they are mostly interested in selling their handouts!

Students in private universities are hardly faced with issues like these.

Verdict: Private Universities Win This

So, Public or private university – which will it be?

You need to consider every factor in making a decision.

Identify your goals, your course of study, costs, culture, and environment before choosing between a public and private university

See List of Accredited Universities in Nigeria With Websites, And Other Things

Note that whether you go public or private, your chances in the job market are basically the same (though I hear some employers still prefer graduates from public universities). So whether you have spent millions or thousands of Naira getting educated may not matter in the job market!
Private or public, a lot depends on the individual and on how willing they are to get a quality education.
Or don’t you agree?

7 Best Ways To Make Money As A Student In Nigeria

              Best way to make money in Nigeria while still a student.

How to make money as a student by giststudent.com

Many students have been having this problem of not having money to solve little problems in school.

What is the reason?

In every institution there are three (3) types of students:

1.     Students that try their best to find a means to get money while they are still in school but only depend on the little they get from it.

2.     Students that believe that is only when they finish school that they will start looking for money

3.     Students that want to make money while in school but don’t know how.

These are the 3 categories of students in every institution. We the Giststudents team have call it a duty to opine on this matter.

Ø Student that try their best to get money but depend on the little, should know that depending on the little you get will still make you to be in need because when big problem comes, you won’t be able to solve it and that will make you start looking for where to get money. This then mean you have to find more means on how to make more money.

Ø Students who thinks that is only when they finish school that they need job should have this in mind that “70% of students are jobless”. By having something doing when you are still in school will help you build something before you finish school and this will make you to be independent after school or you can be doing it until you get a job that pay more than that one.

Ø Students who want to start making money in school but don’t know how to start or things to do. Don’t worry this post is for you.

We are going to show you the most best 7 ways to make money while still in school. Now let get started.

                    7 ways to make money as a student

1.     Apply for new scholarship and grants. This is the first thing to do as a student when you enter into any institution. Applying for a scholarship will help to lower some of the payment you have to make, like your school fees. If you can get a scholarship that will pay your school fees, you can then use the money your parent gave you for school fees and do another thing. A lot of students think that they are only eligible for funding when they initially apply for admission. This is a mistake! There are often new scholarship opportunities for upper level students, though they aren’t always widely advertised. You may also be able to apply for external scholarships, which are offered from groups outside of your school. So begin by scoping out bulletin boards on your campus and paying careful attention to any information you get in your department group or any society you may belong.

2.     Offer your services as a tutor and sell materials. One of the best way to learn a subject is to teach it. By becoming a tutor, you can hone your own knowledge of your field of study, perform a valuable service to others, and earn some needed cash. It’s a win-win scenario for everyone involved! You can pick a subject you think you know a bit about it and start teaching it to other students. Remember you don’t need to know everything in that subject to start, the more you teach the more you understand. You can write materials on that subject for students to buy. Students who sell materials in any institution make up to #100,000 gain in all the materials they sell per semester.

3.     Open a salon in your hostel/lodge (or make house calls). This one is mostly for girls but also boys that engage in this make much money than girls. If you are talented at doing nails, hair, or make-up, consider advertising your services to your friends and course mates, especially before big events like fresher’s night or Valentine’s Day. Students who are into this biz make much money from it.

4.     Use your own creativity. When I said creativity, I mean many things. There is no joy than the joy you get when you get money from the things you know. If you are a fast and accurate typist, if you are great at creating interesting presentations with sophicated graphics, or if you excel at creating tables and graphs to represent data, are you good in developing App, can you create a website, can you use the internet to register course and other online form. If yes to any of this, then count yourself as someone with a potential. You will get money by helping other students with the assignment that relate to the one you know. You can create a website for company, your department (if they don’t have one). You can also create an App that will get you much money.

.Have your own blog or website. Blogging is one of the best way to make money as a student. Many people said that blogging don’t pay but I tell you today that blogging still pay, it all depend on you. Blogging is one of the ways to express your knowledge to the world. If you want to know how to create a blog click here. There are so many ways to make money in blogging, you can check them out here. If you’ve ever seen the film The Social Network then you’ve most likely had your brain spinning as to what website you can start-up to make you billions. And of course there are lots of stories out there about successful students who have started a site while at university, or even bought a domain name and later sold it for 1000s. In fact, Save the Student is one such example of a website started at university by Owen Burek in his first year, which has since grown into a full-time and successful enterprise. Read Debug’s 4-step guide to setting up a website if you’re interested in finding out more. It’s really not that difficult to get started and there are plenty of opportunities to make money online.
 

6.     Affiliate marketing: If you’ve got a good presence on social media or perhaps you even have a blog or website, you can start bringing in money immediately by promoting all sorts of companies, products, services and offers online. Sign up to an affiliate network such as AffiliateWindow, check their offers blog or browse the merchant listings to find something you think your friends would be interested in, grab your affiliate link and share it. If someone buys (can be within up to 90 days) using your link you’ll make a nice commission. To take it a step further, set up a website or a topical Facebook page and invite all your friends to join it and post your affiliate offers on there.

7.     Polities: YES Polities. This is another way to make money as a student, many students became great in future due to their involvement in polities. Many of them got their shop, cars, house, popularity, etc. through polities. Many people have the mind that polities is a dirty game so for that reason I won’t get involved with it. But let me tell you that, why you allow your mind to be occupy by that is because you refused to take risk in life. Those that are into it did they have two heads? The answer is NO! “Polities” not only the money side, it also build people in the area of thinking and ways to handle some problems. So take the chance, who knows you may become the next SUG president of your institution.

          With this 7 ways you must make money as a student.

The way in which JAMB Should Conduct Entrance Exercise Into Tertiary Institutions

I came across this interesting piece on one of the popular forums and think it will be of interest to Giststudents readers. Please read and share your opinion;

"It’s really sad that after 38 years of setting up the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB), she’s still on the quest to getting it right. It hurts when I see bright minds deprived of the opportunity to further their education largely due to the incompetence of the examination body. A question always pop into my mind: “Can’t we just scrap this system?”

Here is my view of what I feel should be the way forward

JAMB really needs to look beyond conducting examination. She should serve more as a portal that connects the students with the tertiary institutions. What do I mean by this, students should only register through JAMB having meet up with the requirements laid down by the body and their credentials should be forwarded to the institutions for the admission process

The system should be done in such a way that a candidate can only choose a max. of 5 institutions. The payment method should also be a factor of the number of schools chose. The minimum could be 2 institution costing N4,000 flat. An addition of extra school determines how much you eventually pay. E.g. For every extra school pick, you pay an addition of 1,000 to the 4,000 flat.

Access the website, fill up the number of institutions interested, print out the transcript, go to the nearest bank to pay, collect your pin and finally logon to begin your application. This will reduce the cost of printing scratch card which does not even sale for the exact amount in some part of the country. Some agents go the length of adding extra N300 before purchasing the card from them.

Once the application is closed for the year, JAMB should then sit down and process the various entries. A centralized timetable will then be designed for the conduct of the exam. Candidate who chose UI and other schools for example might take the other school’s (UniZik, FUTMINNA, IMSU and AAUA) exam first before taking that of UI’s depending on the calendar drafted. If a candidate who chose UNIBEN logon for the exam, he would be redirected to UNIBEN’s question which was set by the school herself.

This means JAMB technically have no question but serve as a middleman between the school and the candidate. This is where University standard come in to play. OAU’s questions might be more challenging compared to University of Uyo and students who wishes to attend OAU have to prepare very well.

After the examination, either the school/JAMB can mark (objectives) depending on the agreement reached and the result is then forwarded to the institutions. The result will then determine the cut-off mark to be used by the institution.

If for example, a candidate made it in to 3 of the 5 schools selected, he has the period of a month to accept just one of it creating vacuum for another potential candidate at the school he rejected.

This will balance the population across the institutions in Nigeria."

I think this is really cool. What do you think about his idea?

Five (5) Meals Every Nigerian Undergraduate Must Be Able To Prepare

5 Meals Every Nigerian Undergraduate Must Be Able To Prepare. As Nigerian undergraduates, and i am basing this on my personal experience, food is a major part of our lives, what to eat is a question we wake up and sleep with. Away from home and mother’s food, most of us learn to cook while in school, experimenting daringly every day. And whether you are an expert cook or not, male or female, the meals i have listed are a must. 1. Indomie Instant Noodles As popular as Coca Cola, Indomie Noodles leads the pack in instant noodles production. Every student should be able to throw together a plate of edible noodles. With or without eggs, sardines or other condiments. Anyone can eat noodles raw,but as a student you must master the art of cooking properly, to impress visitors and keep you alive, especially during the examinations.

2. Egusi Soup It is quite easy to prepare and relatively cheap. This qualities make Egusi soup the friend of every student. If you do not know how to prepare proper Egusi soup, you might need tutorials from home or friends. A pot every other weekend will reduce your time spent deciding what to eat, all you have to do is prepare ‘eba’ and you are home free.

3. Jollof Rice Now this is a Nigerian staple, and the beauty of jollof rice, is that no one has a monopoly of what it should look or taste like. There are a million and one ways to prepare jollof rice, and all you need as a student is one or two, either with fresh tomatoes or canned ones. And you can prepare with meat, fish or nothing at all. It is relatively cheap and will impress your visitors.

4. Beans Well, this is not everyone’s favorite, you cant deny it comes in handy. One of the reasons every student should know how to prepare beans is that it can be eaten with other things, pap, custard, bread, garri, to mention but a few. And if your budget is limited, all it takes is palm oil, onions, salt and a little crayfish. One disadvantage is that it takes a while and might deplete your kerosene or gas supply. It is however perfect when you have visitors you do not want to feed.

5. Stew This is for Sundays. Stews are quite versatile. You can prepare chicken stew, fish stew, beef stew, or just stew. And then fresh or canned tomatoes, just add spices to taste and you are ready. And once you have a pot of stew, all you have to do is to decide between white rice, yam or even bread each day.

Inspirational Quotes To Remind You Never To Give Up

How do you deal with adversity? What is your mindset when you experience a major setback in your life? It may be an illness, Lack of admission, bad economy, academic issues, the death of a loved one, or the loss of a job. How do you deal with the hardship that is associated with these situations?

Sometimes, all we need are some words of encouragement, something to motivate us through the deep dark valley of despair. Here are eight motivational quotes that will remind you to persist, even when you feel like giving up.

1. Adversity is temporary

“Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makesit permanent.” — Marilyn vos Savant

When going through an adverse situation, we must remember that we are going through a dark tunnel. We are not stopping for a burger and fries along the way. We are moving through as quickly and efficiently as possible — it is not permanent. It does not form who we are, what we’ve done, or what we have the potential to become. It’s a time for rest, reflection and rejuvenation.


2. Stay focused on the positive

“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” — Aristotle Onassis

We must stay focused on the light at the end of the tunnel. Not giving up and not giving in, but persistently moving our way through to the light. When we understand that this is a temporary setback, our minds will be focused on the positive results.


3. Change your attitude, change your life

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.” ~ William James

Maintaining a positive attitude while going through traumatic situations can be a very daunting task. However, it is also a tremendous opportunity to create change in our lives. Changing your attitude can change your thinking, which can change your life. This is an excellent time to surround yourself with positive thoughts, positive emotions, and positive people. During this time, we may also want to purge ourselves of negative thoughts, negative emotions, and negative people that bring us down.


4. Understand that obstacles bring opportunity

“Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.” — Napoleon Hill

Adverse situations can be deceiving. Our first inclination is usually to blame others or ourselves for the misery that we are experiencing. The simple fact is that sometimes there is no one to blame. However, it’s important to remember that adverse situations offer an excellent opportunity for us to learn and grow. It is all about your perception. Positive mindset is a key to personal growth.

Obstacles Bring Opportunity


5. Never give up, you are in good company

“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me.” — Walt Disney

If you study the lives of highly successful people, you will normally find that they have gone through many adverse situations to get to the point where they are today. They did not quit in the middle of a setback or a tragedy. They pushed through the rough times knowing each step was bringing them closer to their ultimate goal. If we are to get to the next level, we cannot give up in the middle. We should understand that we are in good company — no one who has ever succeeded has done so without going through some great adversity.


6. We can choose how we deal with adversity

“Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.” — Henry Ward Beecher

In the midst of adversity, we each have a choice. We can choose to have a pity party for ourselves over a misfortune, or we can take the handle of faith, knowing that these hard times will make us stronger.


7. Practice positive self-talk

“Relentless, repetitive self talk is what changes our self-image.” — Denis Waitley

Adversity provides us with an opportunity to seize the moment for growth. During this time, we must maintain a positive self-image and practice positive self-talk. It must be done relentlessly and repetitively. Don’t miss the opportunity to come out the other side with a stronger self-image.


8. Adversity can leave scars

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” — Khalil Gibran

When going through hard times, you might find yourself thinking, that will leave a mark. That mark or scar could be considered a badge of courage. It will be a reminder of the adversity that you have faced and will actually make you stronger. This is because of the lessons learned on your way through that dark tunnel.
