There are different types of students in Nigerian universities, when you go to the campuses you will find the good, the funny, the bad, the ugly, the confused, the unbelievable and the list goes on.
When you go to the universities where students are coming from different places and homes, you are most likely to see different characters. Here We are grouping these students into 12 groups and we will tell you how they stand out!
1. The Rich Kids
These categories of students are usually from very wealthy family. They have loads of provisions, latest outfits, latest gadgets and their bank alerts are usually very Huge.
They speak so well, have fine skin, slay effortlessly without even knowing it, they smell Money, you can even tell they are rich from a distance. They make you want to ask your parents about some questions.
They either just came in from the abroad or will leave for the abroad anytime soon. Sometimes, you wonder why they’re even living in the school hostel or why they agreed to school in Nigeria in the first place.
These set of students are the reason most weak students have low self-esteem.
2. The Lovebirds
These types of students live up to their name. They came to school to find their missing rib. The only thing left is a marriage certificate.
They do everything together, go to school together, wear matching outfits, hold hands everywhere, every time! It’s even more provoking when they’re classmates because the next seat is permanently taken, as long as their partner is not yet seated.
3. The Party Starters
These sets of students came to school to party. They all know the dates of upcoming events and parties at the back of their hand. They rarely have time for class. They are only active a few weeks before CAs or Exams.
They are the life of the party. They are always the MC or assistant MC. When they are not partying, they will organize a mini party or hang out with friends, there just have to be something to celebrate. They hate quiet places, it makes them feel that the world will end soon. We can see those types of students in Nigerian Universities.
4. The MVPs
These are students who passed through the university and allowed the university to pass through them as well. They are both street-smart and book-smart.
These type of students are good time managers, they attend classes, parties, events in and around the school, church programs, know the latest fashion trends and entertainment gist, hustle on the side and still find enough time to read extensively.
You can even ask those one for area of concentration during revisions, if they don’t know it then you won’t find that question on the question paper.

These are the type of students that came down from heaven to rescue the lost students. They tell you how wearing worldly clothes and singing secular music has earned you a mansion in hell.
They can be known with their long skirts, natural hairs or very holy hairdos, bogus blouses and shirts. The brothers wear trousers that can be used as full wrappers and their ties are long and very bold.
You always see them praying very early in the morning, at the football pitches, or anywhere that looks like a mountain top, after which they pray in groups till they get to their different lodges or hostels.
They are spiritual and their only business with world people is greetings. They must not be seen with unbelievers except during evangelism. These students are one of the best type of students because they live by example.
6. The Bookworms
These are the type of students that have all the books on the course outline. they have all the textbooks used in the department, whether they are asked to buy or not. If they don’t have a particular book, then it’s not meant for their department.
They are the ones you meet for all the materials and up-to-date notes. Their break times are spent at the photocopy shop. They love anything that looks like a book, it turns them on. Some lecturers even borrow books from them, that’s the height of it.
These category students are the readers of tomorrow. They read against future degrees. They can read 5-10 textbooks for just one course so that they can embarrass their lecturers with points in the exam hall.
They also love big grammar. To them, if you don’t speak heavy grammar, you don’t know why you are in school.
7. The Slay Gang
These kind of students obviously came to school to slay. They have all the latest fashion trends and use every opportunity to show off. They don’t usually dress for the occasion, they dress to surprise the occasion.
They love attention and so they seize every opportunity to get it and they can be seen with their glass water bottles and waist-bags. Or in church with their weaves, designer clothes, shoes and bags and full face beat.
The lecture halls is their showroom and they set fashion goals to their course mates and friends every day. You might not need to go online to check the latest fashion trends as they bring the news to your classroom every day.
8. The Born Leaders
These kind of students were born to lead while others follow, they seek every opportunity to be the head. It is either you surrender your position to them willingly or they fight for your office till you give up.
They always struggle to be the class rep/ course rep or group leaders in their class, wing rep or even the Governor in their hostel, prayer leader or unit head in church.
They always have something to complain about other people’s government. They can contest for a post for several times without giving up and their posters are always seen at every SUG election. They just have to lead because it is their calling.

Those one in the hostel will tell you to stop moving with your boyfriend /girlfriend because your parents won’t be happy if they find out. They want to know everything about you.
They are more like the elders of the campus and the annoying thing is that you can never correct or advise them. Who are you to advise the wisest of them all?

They live a triangular life – from the classroom to the market, and back to their kitchen. They wake up early to cook and even take to class. One would wonder if they’re real students or chefs-in-training.
They cook away their time in school. Saturdays and Sundays are their best days. They punish hungry students with aromas of food.
