At the heart of every student’s journey in UNIBEN lies one core responsibility — academics. While social life, hostel experiences, and extracurriculars all play their part in shaping the university experience, the real measure of success often comes down to how well students manage their studies. From long hours in lecture halls to late nights in the library, the academic grind is something every student quickly becomes familiar with.
One of the biggest challenges students face is time management. With lectures spread across different faculties, continuous assessments, and the pressure of semester exams, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Many students struggle to find a balance between attending classes, completing assignments, preparing for tests, and still carving out time for personal study. Without structure, the workload can quickly pile up.
Another pressing issue is access to learning resources. While some faculties are well-equipped with up-to-date materials, others still rely heavily on outdated notes and textbooks. Students often turn to online platforms, group discussions, and personal research to bridge the gap. The main library and departmental libraries remain critical study hubs, but with increasing demand, finding space during exam periods can be tough.
Despite these challenges, UNIBEN students have shown remarkable resilience and innovation in approaching academics. Group study circles, tutorials led by senior students, and peer-to-peer mentoring have become effective ways of simplifying tough courses and sharing knowledge. The culture of academic support across faculties is one of the reasons students are able to push through demanding semesters.
Technology has also changed the landscape of academic life. Many lecturers now share materials online, while students use digital tools for note-taking, research, and practice tests. With platforms for accessing journals, e-books, and academic forums, students can now complement traditional learning with resources from around the world.
Ultimately, the academic life in UNIBEN is not just about passing exams — it is about building the foundation for future careers. While the pressure is real, so too are the opportunities for growth, discipline, and intellectual discovery. For every student navigating assignments, projects, and exams, the message remains clear: with focus and consistency, success is always within reach.At the heart of every student’s journey in UNIBEN lies one core responsibility — academics.
