The 15 Types of Freshers You Will Find at Any Nigerian Universities and Polytechnics

The 15 Types of Freshers You Will Find at Any Nigerian Universities and Polytechnics

I can still remember back then, during my first year on campus, that it was fun and lively, and every fresher was filled with joy because we had just gained admission and were all eager to resume school and learn more about the institution.

As school resumes, we get to mingle with different types of students with different characters and perspectives. Below are the 15 types of freshers you will find at any Nigerian university, polytechnic, or college of education.

1. THE JJC.

They’re known as “Journey Just Come” so everything on campus amazes them. The buildings, infrastructure, and everything else on campus are appealing to them. They can pose for hundreds of pictures a day and quickly post them online. “Lectures things.” “GNS class was stressful today.”

3. THE JAMBITOS GURU.

These are the brilliant students among the freshers who suggest they organize tutorials. He or she will teach other students before or after the lecture.

4. THE WOMANIZERS.

These are the craziest freshers you will find at any university or polytechnic in Nigeria. Even before the lecture started and during registration, he would have collected more than five girls’ numbers. They usually go from one tutorial to another not to study but to womanize. They’re doing this because of the freedom they get from their parents. If you fall into this category, you had better study hard and remain focused so the school won’t send you back to your father’s house over poor academic performance.

You will find them in social groups, community groups, dance groups, and entertainment groups. If you fall into this category, you better behave yourself so they won’t recruit you into a fraternity group you will end up regretting joining them.

8. THE OVERSABI FRESHERS. 

These ones don’t take advice at all. They act as if they’ve been in the school for years and know more than the older students. They could try to put others through the registration process, only for you to discover that they too are naive.

9. THE STORYTELLER.

These are the most annoying ones among the freshers. With little chance for conversation, they begin to tell you stories about their family, their age, their previous school, and how many times they wrote Jamb before being given admission. What’s my business with your age and how many years you’ve sat for Jamb?
