A student spends a good proportion of their time in places of learning. 6 years in primary school, 7 years in secondary school and an average of 4 years as an undergraduate. This brings a total of 17 years, 19 years if including 2 years in nursery. If the student were to continue to the masters and phd programme, this will bring a total of an average 26 years.
Education does not just stop. Its a life long learning process. As the chinese saying goes, "che dao lao, xue dao lao," it basically means "eat till old, learn till old."

Friendship
Most undergraduate programmes spreads over a period of 3 to 6 years depending on the nature of the course. During these time, students are expected to mingle around and get to know their coursemates better.
Friendship does not consider skin colour nor your religious beliefs. it considers your sincerity.
The get together bonds friendship.
The bonds helps students go through the trying times of studying. The madness of completing 6 assignments, the cramping of all the motivation theories and quest of getting good GPAs.

Graduation
Graduation seems to be one of the most important stages in a youth. These are some photos of students graduating. Notice the smile in their faces.
The feeling of excitement spells in their faces. The undergraduate days filled with tests, assignments and exams. Even their families looks relieved!
Graduation also represents another important phase in a youth's life. Its the platform to the real world. While in the college or university, life evolves around books, library, librarian, lectures, tutorials, lecturers and also the internet. All these are only superficial compared to the real world.
In the real world, whatever learned from the many lectures or tutorials will be put to the test, with the results showing in seconds.
As the graduates embark on the real world, lets wish them great success in their future endeavour and may they have a good career ahead of them.
(This is the last batch of UNN students graduating from the college. Have taught them for 2 years, hence feeling satisfied and happy that they have finally graduated. )
