9 Types of Students You Will Meet in Night Class

Night class is a tutorial session for students preparing for semester examinations. The students usually make use of lecture halls for reading during exams or when exams are around the corner.

Many students opt in for night class to avoid distractions in their hostels, as they can easily mingle with their coursemate, who understands the course better and can teach them the difficulties of the course and other areas of concentration.

Night class is fun, cool, and educational, and it helps us get fully prepared for the exams. However, in night class, there are different types of students you will meet, and in this article, we shall point out the different types of students you will find at night class in universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

1. THE THIEVES

This type of students didn’t come to the night class to read at all; their motive is to steal from other students. They could steal your mobile phone, laptop, textbook, and handouts if care is not taken. This has been a reason why some students don’t like to go to night class because they are afraid of losing their valuables.

2. THE JONAHS

These ones will carry along all their books, pens, and other things to night class, and when you see them, you will think they are the most serious students, but after reading for 10–20 minutes, they sleep for 8 hours and return to their hostel. People in their hostel hail them as genius,”epikos,” or “Igi iwe,” and then at the end of the semester you see their 1.99 GPA. They will begin to lament and blame the lecturer for their failure: “How come I failed, I went to night class 100 times?”

3. THE WOMANIZERS

This type of student didn’t come to night class to read, but rather to toast unsuspecting freshers in 100 level or NDI. They pick random girls and pretend to assist them in their duties. They will be like, “Feel free to contact me if you need help,” “I will take care of you,” “I will help you boost your GPA,” and the gullible ones will still fall prey to them.

4. KNACKERS

This set of students are similar to womanizers; the difference is that knackers use night class as an opportunity to knack themselves, and this could be as a result of a lack of privacy in their hostels, so they use night class to enjoy themselves. We’ve seen used condoms in lecture halls, but how do condoms find their way to the classroom? Only students who go to night class frequently can relate to and answer this question.

6. THE UNSERIOUS STUDENTS

This set of students are common in every night class; they only go to night class for other students in their hostel to see them as a serious student. This set of students will never let their phones be; for every notification, they check their phones every minute, and you wonder if they came here to study or to proofread. When they arrive in the classroom, they start watching and downloading movies, playing games, and disturbing others with their noise. After some time, they dozed off.

8. THE PREACHERS

These ones are like MTN everywhere you go and can be very annoying at times, and nobody can rebuke them, so you won’t be tagged as an enemy of God. The worst part is that these preachers usually come to preach when they themselves are tired of reading and want to take a break and stretch. So don’t be surprised if you come across these types of students in the night class.
