Hi Vanessa, another lovely interview! What I was fascinated by was the fact that Precious decided to study in Ghana rather than study in the UK. It is something we rarely discuss or offer in the UK. Superb idea!
I know this vid is a few months old, but I went to University of Ghana 2003-2004 as an international student from the University of California system. Would highly recommend people study at this school. I was a business administration major and my classes in Ghana were tough! I also took some dance and drumming classes that were fun but also kicked my ass! Was a wonderful experience and according to my mother Ghana made me blossom into a wonderful woman. 😂
@@VanessaKanbi If you want a student, you can get in touch with Nancy ru-vid.com/show-UCC_QORjmB_7jOsh4a2pIXCw She can also help you get in touch with admin and lecturers
@@VanessaKanbi please we need second part where you will basically tour the whole university of legon for us. And also check out Kwame Nkrumah university of science and technology in Kumasi please. Thanks Vanessa for the good work. Keep it up
@@VanessaKanbi the university have a new stadium.. Ultra modern hospital.. Botanical garden... I mean many content to create.. Check international students hostel.. Ish.. More foreign students to interview.... My time in legon we had about 30 Caucasian students from USA.. Political science class alone... So many students from USA and other African countries....
I love this video. Please do an interview with an administrator who deals with international students. I would love for Caribbean students to consider studying at Ghanaian universities.
This is surely a great advice.However the cost of Travel to Ghana might be the main hindrance to such Students. The tuition fee is ok and Cool and the payment might be in US Dollars or Pound Sterilng. So Carribean students be very careful of Gh Universities because of the cost of living.
@SOURCESTV GHANA Crime and scams are rising all over Ghana. So the foreigners ought to be very careful indeed. Let us stop pretending Ghana is a paradise. More foreigners than Ghanaians fall victim especially in hotels and Beaches.
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 crime is every where, no one saying. Ghana is paradise. I live in London our garage has broke into number of times. So dear crime is everywhere. I was pushed around by youths in my own neighborhood walking one afternoon to my house.
The University is massive and beautiful, I loved the air view. Such a great value for the money! She is so beautiful, wonderful outgoing personality and that smile. I liked your outfits very cute.
As a Legon baby you Nubuke should be showing us all the nook and crannies like Vandal city, romantic Accra-by-night crescent, VCs lodge, Little Legon and Ayedo flats etc. You just appeared here giving yourself fans. Mtcheww 🤩🤩🤩😎
Thank you very much for your story, precious, I totally feel you on the thesis part. Meeting the Criteria was my biggest hurdle too. I want Micah and Sophie To go here too 😍
Yes ! Being a legonite is the best ever. The campus has everything you need. I also am in favour of a part 2. We enjoyed great entertainment on weekends. There are churches of many denominations, lots of student groups. Bush canteen and dining halls. The botanical garden, the new modern University Medical Center, so much space for walking or just strolling. Romantic places, lecturers residences, hotel/visitors accommodation like Yiri Lodge, Ford Foundation. You can see I love my University of Ghana and I have attended a very prestigious university abroad but being a legonite is the best. Go Volta Hall!
@@unitedafrica8778 wow that’s cool. Reminds me of OAU in Nigeria (formally university of Ife). I’m not sure if it’s still as nice as I remember, but it had similar vibes to this including hills and forests.
🇯🇲 Building architecture, landscaping & general infrastructural layout looks very modern & harmonious. Once saw a video of a university in Kenyan (lecture hall & dormitory) and was so disappointed with its dinginess, antiquated furniture & peeling paint on the walls.
Thanks for this video! I graduated from Legon from the School of Business (Bsc) in juli 1979, that makes it 42 years ago and have since then lived and worked in the Netherlands. Looking at the surroundings of Legon makes me feel very happy but at the same time makes me miss the surroundings of the University and Ghana in general. In my days the accomodation for students were much better than today, one had a room to him or herself. I guess the accomodation has improved as the number of students has massively increased. Thanks again!
I used to love a spot behind the great hall called Accra by night. I was in commonwealth hall and I will take a stroll up the hill at night and see most of Accra .such a beautiful sight. This was in the late 90s.
Memories of Legon lives with you forever. What a place. I am privileged. Thank you for the video and many thanks to Legon. You made me what I am today.
Vanessa are you a giant or on stilettos or is Precious shorter? This content is really informative. Budget : simple and clear. Still cheaper than the UK for Foreigners . Precious, it is so nice of you to give your Impressions. When to we get a tour of the University if you are authorised to do it. It is the best publicity I have seen for an African University. many universities "abroad" don't even have campuses.
Thank you Vanessa for this video with this interesting content. Thank you Hanna for sharing your experience with us. Good continuation. God bless you both.
The food at the restaurants at Legón are fantastic. I can still taste the fried fish with shito. Btw, this my dad’s Alma mater and we visited in the early 00s
Thank you for this Vanessa! Love your content! I would love to see more of this campus and others as well. Especially the dance departments! Anything DANCE related ! Dance studios , schools ,companies etc!😁💃🏿😊💃🏿
Hi Vanessa!! Very nice. Though I've never been to the UofG, I'm sure that it's an excellent institution to learn in🤗🤗. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
It is sure is a great School to attend If given the Opportuntiy. The history and the Geography Courses are unpredictable because of the calibre of Students who accept entrance unto the School since the early 2000 decade.
Wait one damn minute!!!!! $80 a month for accommodation - more or less $1200 a year when I pay $1300 a month in San Francisco???!!!! I feel like I'm getting scammed.
Vanessa..I love this vlog!!! You have awakened the itch in me to get a Ghanaian passport for my US born kids..I went to secondary school in Ghana but not UNI..I will live it thru them..lol
@@kaydee934 I won't force but offer it as an option..depression is real ..also kids need guidance..not forced..this.life journey is rough and sometimes those who have gone through should serve as a guide so the young ones can do better..
If you are in the UK, it may not be a bad deal for the kids (especially if they intend working in UK/Europe or Ghana with their degree). However, should they land in the US, they will find a lot of challenges with the Ghanaian degree especially in the licensed professions (Medicine, Engineering etc). This has got nothing to do with the quality of our education but how things are structured in Ghana vs US. If your kids did A-levels in UK before pursuing college (either in Ghana or UK) they will be able to overcome some of these red tapes here in the US easily without much stress.
It Is quite ironic that Ghanaian Degrees are not fully recognized in the Western World. Why didn't our successive Governements make deals with Foreign nations Concerning the value of our Degrees. Apart from Hungary and Swdeden Other nations have not fully accepted Gh Degrees. However the UK and France now fully accept our Degrees. On a Historical note America should have never gone into Vietnam to interfere with the affairs of other nations at all.
What strikes me, is the sheer size of the campus compared to the ones here in Scotland. It’s like a small village, I’d definitely be late for classes 😂 A lovely campus nonetheless!
A little trivia: The whole of Accra was supposed to look like this (Planning, architecture, etc), that was plan of the government officials way back then but it didn't pan out.
No. The British actually planned Accra/legon. Accra would have been prettier than it is now, with public squares, fountains etc. Nkrumah changed the original British plan. The same British had a master plan for Nairobi, and it's been followed up to today
Well Legon is a masterpiece of Architecture from the 1960s,However it could have been better than it is today in 2021. It is a human institution not perfect but it can get better with time and age.
In person the campus looks different. The students have their clothes hanging all outside the buildings look different inside . The road is the nice part
