Timmmy: If you look beyond the ASUU strikes in public universities, you'll see several benefits these schools have over their private counterparts. In Nigeria, there is a general belief that private universities are far better than public varsities. This belief is strengthened by the epileptic ASUU strikes and internal crises in public higher institutions across the country.
Usually, when a crisis does not get to the point of pausing the academic progression of the students and shutting the school gates, the crisis doesn't get resolved. These are parts of the reasons why some parents choose to send their wards to private universities. However, if you look beyond the ASUU strike in public universities, you will see several benefits these schools have over their private counterparts.
These benefits range from cheaper school fees to freedom to become an adult and exposure to the real world before becoming a graduate. The bulk of private university graduates don't have such exposure and experience.
So here are five reasons you should consider public university if you are seeking admission.
1. Cost of Education The first thing people get to know about private universities is not the facilities they have but their school fees. Some private schools tuition fee is enough to build a house elsewhere. On the other hand, cost of education is very cheap. Apart from this, cost of living in public university is also cheap as students are allowed to either patronise campus shops or those on the streets where prices are competitive. This is not allowed as some private universities will even punish students for having foodstuff in their hostel.
2. Freedom and Independence Undergraduates in public universities enjoy some degrees of freedom as they are not kept under stringent rules on how to live on campus. Private Universities have so many amusing rules that keep their students under the prying eyes of the management. No freedom, no independence, just students shuttling between lecture rooms and hostels. Private universities force their laws down the throat of their students as they have rules guiding everything. Private school is that entity that treats adults like kids by giving them rules on what to eat, how to dress and when to worship.
3. Campus Fun Some Private universities are dry and are utterly devoid of campus fun. In public universities, you have parties to attend, meet real people, rich and poor; and even join socio-cultural associations like the Kegites groups. Dating is also fun as students couple enjoy their relationship without being punished for expressing love. You can not do this in some private universities. In fact, some private universities frown at students of opposite sex hugging each other.
4. Public University encourages hard work Some lecturers' nonchalant attitudes to work in public universities propel students to work hard to succeed.
For instance, a lecturer that comes to class only to give out handouts expects the students to impress him in their exams. Those lecturers who do not come to class regularly because of other commitments also expect good performance from the students. These students are denied a lot of things yet, they come out with good grades. On the other hands, private university students have almost everything to facilitate their education, yet, some of them are no match for public school graduates who are screwed to success.
5. Public university produces mature graduates Everything public university undergraduates go through in the hands of their lecturers and the university system toughens and prepare them for the life after graduation. They understand life more on campus through the many challenges they go through. The same can not be said about private university undergraduates, most of whom only see life through one prism of their parents' wealth and lecturers' soft approaches to everything. They hardly make decisions for themselves. It is either their parents make it for them or the school management does.

I attend a public school but I will choose a private school over it anyday , in public schools most of them lack equipment , I remember going to a mechanical engineering workshop in my school and 90% of the equipments weren't working , you talk about hard work , most of the lecturers are not interested in passing a student which I have no idea why , but it's easier in a private school because they want to impart knowledge and not become uneccesary sadist , most public schools are living in past glory trust me . And you are talking about cost , the truth is education is expensive, travel abroad and see how much the quality schools pay , the reason why public schools are the way they are is because they are heavily underfunded, and student pay less 7 Likes |

Wow. You're so damn narrow minded. Qualitative education is the reason why I chose my university. You think it's all about money. No one spends money unnecessarily. That's why people like you who throw shades at private universities are still the ones asking them to bring down their fees.
A degree with some worth, eh! It's no longer about the mind. It's about the degree. That's why you'll go to a school for 5years, gain no practical experience, read hand-outs upon hand-outs, sort your way all through the university, just to get a degree. That's where the worth of your degree lies. And yet, you think a graduate from a private university with a good result will be intimidated by any of you? So narrow minded. If you think life will care about your degree, then you have another thing coming. just leave them to their ignorance. You've made good points. 6 Likes |

Private Universities in Nigeria are good, their students can stand shoulder to shoulder with public school students. Most of you hating cannot prove why they should not be rated, you hate them because you acnt afford them.

You that can afford it attend,nobody says you shouldn't attend it.And I can afford some of them(the one's that pays in thousands)I can't imagine paying millions to study in Nigeria, but it would be better I go to a public university in Nigeria or I go to a public or private university abroad simple it is clearly my opinion and not your's in a real sense some of their certificates cannot be compared with public universities. |

I had admission into FUTO. I rejected it and did an A Level programme in Uniport, then gained 200 level admission into Mechanical engineering. I still rejected it and went private. And most private universities release their admission lists before public universities. By the time the public universities are admitting students, their counterparts in private universities would have even matriculated or started exams. So what are you saying? Most of you don't even know what you're saying. You believe everything people tell you. .. |

Your emphasis on financial gains is very shallow,You should build a private enterprise too and make sure you run at a loss. . .ehn?. Private Universities are funded(mostly) by private individuals or organizations which makes their sole aim PROFIT MAXIMIZATION which is justifiable considering the amount they spend on buildings maintenance, electricity and renumeration of personnels.
Private Universities offer very qualitative and sound education and their graduates are very proud and confident of their educational institution. . .So,Your assertion on Inferiority is purely baseless.

Univervasitas exists for the training of the faculties,of the mind.I have been to Babcock,Babcock cannot be a balanced university with students treated like nursery school pupils.how can you train minds in such a setting.you banned freedom to choice foods and expect the brain to function optimally and you impose a ban on expressions and you want to produce first class brains.you make men going to 80/85 deans and hod and expect to have a vibrant faculty because at that age men are not likely to have erections and thereby the virginity of girls pupils ,who are only virgins ,in the imagination ,of their parents ,are preserved. Babcock may be ideal for girls.it is a no no for guys. |

Well, as much as you free to disagree with me, a good number of private universities in Nigeria could only best be described as glorified secondary schools. I've had a lot of encounters with many of their graduates and believe me, there's nothing to write home about, but you see them awarding first class degrees to almost every of their graduates.
I was also opportuned to serve with a lot of them during my service year, both the ones we stayed at the same lodge and those in my place of primary assignment. They well a complete embarrassment, had nothing to offer...
And remember, they were from different institutions across the country (don't want to mention names). 4 Likes |
