Students life in campus and academic activities in the north eastern universities.

Campus life is suppose to be positively memorable and enjoyed by all students, but that is not always the  case, as some pass through terrible experience before graduation. Majority of these students, are suppose to be in  secondary schools as in olden days, are now spread across tertiary institutions,as premature struggling with childish  behaviour,and nothing much is being done to help them. They are  left to their fate to bear the cross. In my capacity as one saddled with the responsibilities to the students, Some problems they are facing are as follows :1-  Poor study skills which lead to poor academic performance.
2-Poor career guidance which is misleading career choice through fantasy.
3-Negative attitude of some lecturers toward students which reinforces academic misconduct eg exam -malpractice.
4-Lack of required infrastructure  and facilities in institutions, Faculties and Departments to enhance better academic attainment. 5-Cultism and drugs phenomenon.
6-Poor understanding of academic freedom by students.
7-Poverty and parental upbringing.
8-Societal decay as model to students.
9-Lack of management concern for students welfares causing hardship to students.
10-Lack of students interest for studies and negative impact of  globalisation and technology, couple with lack of interest in education by all tiers of governments and parents are responsible for these problems.
11-Cultural and religious differences hindering normal socialisation among students which negate tolerance, love, friendship and peaceful co=existence. Correcting these predicaments will pave way for better, and make campus life more interesting thereby developing intellectuals and technocrats students and leaders that can develop the society. These are just a few of the problems. I believe discussions on them and many more will serve as catalyst in bringing sanity and a vibrant academic environment.
I sincerely appreciate the opportunity given to share my little knowledge with others
