Many students experience significant life changes when they go from secondary school to a higher education institution, including the first time they live away from friends and family.
There are methods to get ready before acting hastily. The following advice can assist incoming first-year students in organizing their lives and laying the groundwork for future success in the classroom.
- GET AN ACCOUNT FROM “STUDENTREALESTATES”
A rapidly growing digital startup called STUDENTREALESTATES assists students in acquiring housing.
STUDENTREALESTATES has you covered regardless of your location, whether it is the North, South, East, or even the West.
You can receive accommodation without even setting foot in school if you only register and create an account with them, search for the name of your institution, and accept the terms and conditions that apply.
STUDENTREALESTATES can help you with more than just that! Students have access to a portal called STUDENTREALESTATES where they may purchase or sell any type of home appliance.
I’ll also talk about the quick housing market for Nigerian students on STUDENTREALESTATES.
If you’re a student trying to make ends meet and you think you could rent out your space for a day or longer to new students who are coming to your school but don’t have the money to stay in a hotel or guest house, you can actually rent out your hostel space for one or more students for between #1,000 and #1,500 naira per night. Just think of how much money you could have made in five days on average.
- RECOVER ALL DOCUMENTS
It’s no longer shocking to see how many new students forget to bring some crucial paperwork with them to their new school or leave them behind at home, making registration and documentation easier.
I understand that you may be under pressure, but try to maintain your composure so that you don’t forget anything important for school. Among the documents in this collection are:
- Waec O’level results
- Admission letter for Jamb
- Letter of acceptance to the school
- Birth certificate
- Certificate of State of Origin
- Identity card
- Passport photo, etc.
- BUY YOUR ITEMS FOR PERSONAL CARE
Many new students frequently accumulate a variety of foodstuffs or other food items needed while they travel to school, even when others lack the luxury of getting enough food, essential products, or the chance to carry enough.
even if you lack the resources or ability to purchase the meals you require. Never pass up the opportunity to pick up some of these personal hygiene products. Since they are indispensable and highly significant.
- Toothbrush
- Toothpaste
- Body lotion or cream
- Hand sanitiser/soap
- Deodorant, fragrances, and body sprays
- Shower shoes
- Shampoo
- Towel
- MEDICATION
Well-being is riches. Please make sure you obtain your medical records from your doctor before you leave the house. When you travel to school, you should give careful consideration to your health.
One’s health may suffer as a result of the stress and the complete shift in surroundings.
It’s actually not necessary to have a serious medical issue before bringing your prescription drugs to your new school. Additionally, a First Aid kit is required.
- Painkillers: for headaches and aches in the body
- Antibiotics: for illnesses
- Bandages and methylated spirit to treat small wounds or cuts.
- Inhaler: for people with asthma or other similar illnesses.
- A MOBILE PHONE FOR PERSONAL USE
To be really honest with you, your phone is just as vital as any of the above-mentioned things. I realize this may sound a little strange.
It is very probable to misplace your phone due to the strain, tension, travel, and complete change in surroundings.
Due to the unreliable electrical supply in most places, your phone may be stolen, misplaced, or explode.
You’ll need your phone for practically everything on campus, so make sure to keep it safe and intact. Additionally, if you can, purchase a power bank for yourself.
