TESTIMONIALS FROM INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

-
The University of Ghana, the premier University in Ghana, stands out as a leading tertiary educational institution in Africa. The University attaches a great importance to the cross-cultural experience that is made possible by the presence of foreign students on campus. The successful participation of international students in our courses has helped us to acquire an excellent reputation for the quality of out teaching and research and of our student care services. We pride ourselves on the attention given to the individual needs of our students, whatever their cultural background.

Below are some comments from international students:

"It's nearly impossible to identify all the ways in which the Ghana exchange programme enriched my life. Ghana is an amazing country with so much to offer. The exchange programme allows you to experience Ghana and it's culture to the fullest. Many people can come to Ghana as tourists but to come and go to school and basically live as a student allows you to gain a true experience of life in Ghana".
(Amber Webb, Brock University, Canada)


"Studying at the University of Ghana was a great experience. Living in Ghana, ever more so. The challenges were many, but with a smile and some patience, a helping hand soon appeared. International students had the safety and comfort of the International Programmes Office for any difficulties or questions we had. Indeed the mosquitoes are a pain, the chili in almost everything may take some getting used to, as well as the staple foods, but survival techniques abound!
Come dance, learn, laugh, eat and live!! Do not leave without trying the groundnut soup, fufu and all the varieties of plantains! And take any opportunity to travel around and see the turtles of Ada, the shores of Lake Volta and the elephants of Mole; to name only a few of Ghana's treasures. I advice anyone considering visiting the University of Ghana to go for it: they will not regret it".
(Sirim Fagerheim, University of Bergen, Norway)

The Walking Tour at Mole Game Reserve

“The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.”  ―  Anthony Bourdain ,  A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines The Early Morning Sky I woke up at 5am for an early morning meditation. I went outside and the sky was still dark, tinted with a hint of lightness. The restaurant/bar facility is set right above a massive watering hole. Off to the side is a little viewing deck with a bench. I went to sit on the bench. The tree that covered the bench was alive with bees. The sound of the bees was louder than I have ever heard before. As I tried to meditate in peace, bees flew against my body. I kind of freaked out and moved to a less glamorous spot by the pool. I enjoyed a very nice hour-long meditation. It was such a beautiful site to open my eyes and see untouched forest reserve as far as the eyes could see. As the sun rose I headed back for my room. Someone told m

On this episode of Lisa Writes Home , you will read about: Cultural adjustments, stigmas, acclimations and revelations All the pretty, pretty nature! Beach rave! (or just a regular old party on the beach) And so the journey has begun. I’ve sent out group emails, recorded more audio than I can ever synthesize into stories (though that won’t stop me from trying— Transom , where you at?), hiked through the North, braved the bustling and aromatic streets of the Madina Market, visited schools, learned the special snappy handshake (video tutorial to come), experienced my first political protest (the Supreme Court verdict on the questionable election results) and finally started classes. The road is long and it has just begun but I’m relishing in the experience, drinking in each moment and insatiably seeking out the next adventure. I can feel the gravity that this place has on me, it’s a deep aching tug on my heart that feels like meeting an old friend for the first time

Interviewer: Eugene Ohene-Tutu Ansu (EOTA) Interviewee: Akinrodoye Dare Samuel (ADS) “I love swimming. When I’m in the water, nothing else matters to me; just the strokes pulling me through the water. It is the calmest and safest place to be” - Akinrodoye Dare Samuel(Dreh) EOTA: Mr Akinrodoye, thank you for making time for this meeting and congrats on your numerous achievements as a sports personality and student leader in the University of Ghana (UG).
