Wow, I stitch in time really saves that. I can relate with you on that, I was also like that before gaining admission. Of course I wanted to go to the university far away from home but I couldn’t because of my dad.
My dad later suggested we go to an open university, which requires me to study from home, all my friends were pursuing university and polytechnic far from home so they can have their freedom.
The first year passed down to the third year but am grateful now that am in school studying from home. God really knows what’s best for us. I remember when I was praying strongly for me to gain admission into unilag but God knows best.
