Why student dropped out in year 3
In a TikTok post on April 8, the young man, @dhes_tiny03backup, reflected on his struggles at his previous university.
He noted that each semester, his already poor grade point average (GPA) kept dropping, causing a student who was once the top in secondary school to be worse off at the university.
Eventually, he concluded that there was no hope in the course, as he could not graduate with such a result. The Nigerian youth revealed that he told his parents about his desire to change institution, but they kicked against it, encouraging him not to give up.
A day before his exams, he made up his mind to quit, saved up money and went to Lead City University to start afresh. He reiterated his advice to students about quitting the course they were not coping with, maintaining that their parents will eventually heal.
"Funny how I thought I was going to graduate soon😂💔 Leave that course you’re not coping in before it’s too late, your parents will heal❤️ Always wanted to leave Industrial Physics from the moment I was given the course but my parents kept convincing I could do it, each semester my gpa that was already very bad kept reducing, went from a top student in secondary school to an olodo in university😂.
"Knew I couldn’t finish with that result, told my parents I needed a change of school so bad but as always “you can do it, believe in yourself, you’re not praying that’s why and so on”.
"A day before my exams I made up my mind I wasn’t going to write the exams cause what’s the point, saved up money, came to Lead City to find admission for myself in a new course, did everything I had to do to be here myself and here I am Again, leave that course you’re not coping in, your parents will heal❤️!!!!
"Sha guide first incase they decide not to pay your school fees again😭😭. Honestly wish I did this earlier tho," he wrote.

"Dropped out third year of medical school where I was studying med Lab, I decided to study accounting instead, entirely different from science but I'll make it work, plus I just found out the school added one more year to the med Lab program making it a 6 years course, not for me."
