Some freshmen at the University of Ghana (UG) have shared mixed reactions to the ongoing manual registration process for both residential and academic purposes.
The registration exercise, which began on Monday, January 19, requires students to manually register their courses, complete procedures to settle into their halls of residence, and register with their respective departments.
Speaking to Univers News, some students described the process as “stressful” and “hectic”, while others expressed enthusiasm about the campus atmosphere.
“So far, coming to the University of Ghana has been very stressful because we had to join a lot of queues to register, and it has been hectic. I didn’t know my registration would be this stressful. I’ve been here since Monday, but up to date, I have not yet finished my registration,” one freshman stated.
Another student also shared how challenging his journey has been so far:
“My experience has been good apart from the registration, which was very hectic. I had to stand in the sun for many hours. I came on Sunday around 1 p.m., and we stood there for hours before they gave us a temporary place to sleep. In the morning, we had to pack our things out. I would say it was very hectic,” the student said.
Meanwhile, some students expressed appreciation for the campus environment.
“I was supposed to do my online registration, which I was finally able to come here to do. Today, I’m here for my manual registration, and I love the environment. I know teaching is going to be insightful,” one freshman said.
