6 Things You Should Expect As A Fresher In OAU

Share

Getting admitted into OAU is a dream come true for many individuals and they can’t wait to experience life on OAU campus. Well, there are certain things that you should bear in mind as you are resuming to OAU.

1. Attention from fellowship

No doubt it is a good thing to associate with people of like faith but on your first day on campus, get ready to receive all the attention from them. They get to help you with your loads and carry your stuff you can refer to them as angels. Remember life is all about give and take. They give you their time and strength in exchange for you to attend their fellowship.

2. Morning devotions

Starting your day by committing it to God is very essential. Well, our fellow brethren that helped us out with our load are there to remind us about this early in the morning. Especially if you stay in Mozambique or Angola, get ready to be woken up early for devotions.

3. Adapting

This is something that you don’t have a choice about. Adapting to a new environment requires many factors. This is where making friends come to play but you don’t need to be reminded of the importance of the good company.

4. Registration stress

This is common in every school as one will have to submit some documents to their department and faculty. This can be considered to be hectic cause you will have to stand in a queue and you might not even be attended to. But to make things quick for yourself, try to make friends among the officials in charge of the registration. Don’t rush yourself to do health centre registration, you can always do that later.

5. Fun

Don’t have a boring life. Do things that make you happy and don’t let your life be centred on books. There will be a lot of party invites and I won’t say you should decline it but be careful of the parties you attend. I’m sure your parents would have overemphasized the importance of being careful so I won’t bore you with that again. You can go on mountaineering, hangouts or anything but let your fun be in moderation.

6. Stress and struggle

This is more evident in physical class as you will have to run from one lecture theatre to another. The stress and struggle on OAU is real. If you stay in the hostel, get ready to also struggle for water and they are some days you won’t even see the Water. The water most times come with odour and colour.

OAU is full of many activities to explore and I am sure you can’t wait to dive into the ocean of freedom. You are welcome to a world where you are given the book and pen to write your destiny. Be careful of what you write cause it can’t be erased.
