Overall, my time at the university was quite positive. I was really impressed with the teaching in most of my classes; the lecturers did a great job of making lessons practical and engaging. It was also fantastic to meet students from all over the world. I loved learning from people with such diverse backgrounds. The university administration also communicated well, usually sending out updates and important information clearly and on time. However, a few issues did affect my experience. Sometimes my personal information was incorrect in their records, and there were instances where students received wrong grades. These kinds of mistakes can be really stressful and need to be handled more carefully. It would be a huge improvement if they were more accurate with records and double-checked results before releasing them. Despite these problems, it's been a valuable experience. Addressing these concerns would definitely make the university's services even better for future students. 👍 Lecturers made lessons practical and engaging. | 👎 The university needs to be more accurate with student records and grades.
Great Academic Experience, Poor Administration. Studying at the University of Buea was a meaningful experience overall. I met many like-minded students, built strong friendships, and learned under dedicated lecturers. Professors like Madam Ayuk Justine especially made my academic journey richer with their guidance and commitment to students. Academically, UB has a good reputation and offers strong programmes, with opportunities for group work, research, and personal growth. The learning environment and diversity of students help you grow both intellectually and socially. However, the administration remains the biggest weakness. Processing documents like transcripts, attestations, and certificates is slow and often unreliable. Even after paying for the �fast mode,� which promises one-day delivery, I still received my transcript nearly two weeks later. Many students also complain about delayed certificates, long queues at banks due to payment issues, and inconsistent handling of CA marks. Some students even choose to carry over a course because correcting CA errors is difficult. The campus environment also needs improvement in waste management and general maintenance, and accommodation around UB is often expensive for students. Would I recommend UB? Yes but with caution. The academic and social experience is good, but you must be prepared to deal with administrative delays and be very proactive with follow-ups.
