In her words:

"Hi, my name is Shewa. Feel free to call me your UI 'Big Sis'. And here are a few things that shocked me when I gained admission to UI.
Number one: The walking. Sorry, the trekking! If you actually want to lose weight, I recommend UI because it's a fitness program. If you have a class in the morning and another class in the afternoon somewhere else, just know you are trekking. Anyways, that's if you don't want to spend money on 'keke'"

She also pointed out that 8 a.m. lectures came as another surprise. The student explained that lecturers begin teaching exactly at the scheduled time, leaving little room for late arrivals.

“Number two: 8 AM classes. Oh my God! When they said 8 AM, I thought maybe it would be like 8:30, 8:35. Oh... My dear, five minutes past 8, the lecturer has already written half the note,” she said.

The third thing she mentioned was how quickly the academic semester moves. According to her, students may feel they have just started a course before suddenly hearing that tests are approaching.

“And lastly, how fast the semester moves. You will just blink small [blink once], and suddenly everybody's shouting, 'Test is next week! Test is next week!' And you are wondering, when did we even start the course?” She added.
