Hi Vanessa, another lovely interview! What I was fascinated by was the fact that Precious decided to study in Ghana rather than study in the UK. It is something we rarely discuss or offer in the UK. Superb idea!
I know this vid is a few months old, but I went to University of Ghana 2003-2004 as an international student from the University of California system. Would highly recommend people study at this school. I was a business administration major and my classes in Ghana were tough! I also took some dance and drumming classes that were fun but also kicked my ass! Was a wonderful experience and according to my mother Ghana made me blossom into a wonderful woman. 😂
Oh wow!
Wow, we're glad you had such a positive experience with us.
Ghana is a really beautiful country. I love you Ghana
I Love Africa and i really love and Wanna live in Ghana.
Who else need a part 2 of this beautiful school. A proper tour of the school, ie, UGBS, pent, Jean Nelson, Akufo hall, their hospital, stadium etc.
Sure I will do this if I can get in touch with someone from the uni
@@VanessaKanbi If you want a student, you can get in touch with Nancy th-cam.com/channels/C_QORjmB_7jOsh4a2pIXCw.html
She can also help you get in touch with admin and lecturers
@@VanessaKanbi please we need second part where you will basically tour the whole university of legon for us. And also check out Kwame Nkrumah university of science and technology in Kumasi please. Thanks Vanessa for the good work. Keep it up
@@VanessaKanbi the university have a new stadium.. Ultra modern hospital.. Botanical garden... I mean many content to create.. Check international students hostel.. Ish.. More foreign students to interview.... My time in legon we had about 30 Caucasian students from USA.. Political science class alone... So many students from USA and other African countries....
Akufo hall? Wtf is that
Thank you Vanessa for having me 🥰♥️
I've never seen such positivity, enthusiasm and love for a country before. If I were overseas, this lady would make me wanna relocate. Big ups🙌🙌🙌
I'm from the caribbean but my eyes is on Africa.....i really love the mother land.
@@nemesisprime2993 Do visit whenever you have the chance. You will find ''homes'' away from home..♥♥♥
I like the fact that she choose Ghana university, such a sweet place to study 📚.
The campus is beautiful i love the fact that its so green and huge.
Do a university tour please ....ashesi,Cape coast uni and all of them pleaseeee.....that will be a nice series...thanks
Will do!
Yes ! Being a legonite is the best ever. The campus has everything you need. I also am in favour of a part 2. We enjoyed great entertainment on weekends. There are churches of many denominations, lots of student groups. Bush canteen and dining halls. The botanical garden, the new modern University Medical Center, so much space for walking or just strolling. Romantic places, lecturers residences, hotel/visitors accommodation like Yiri Lodge, Ford Foundation.
You can see I love my University of Ghana and I have attended a very prestigious university abroad but being a legonite is the best. Go Volta Hall!
I love this video. Please do an interview with an administrator who deals with international students. I would love for Caribbean students to consider studying at Ghanaian universities.
This is surely a great advice.However the cost of Travel to Ghana might be the main hindrance to such Students.
The tuition fee is ok and Cool and the payment might be in US Dollars or Pound Sterilng.
So Carribean students be very careful of Gh Universities because of the cost of living.
@SOURCESTV GHANA Crime and scams are rising all over Ghana.
So the foreigners ought to be very careful indeed.
Let us stop pretending Ghana is a paradise.
More foreigners than Ghanaians fall victim especially in hotels and Beaches.
That's what's App.
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 crime is every where, no one saying. Ghana is paradise. I live in London our garage has broke into number of times. So dear crime is everywhere. I was pushed around by youths in my own neighborhood walking one afternoon to my house.
@@maameodo4451 I live in Canada and 2 polish guys broke in to my house and took all of me and sisters jewelry while I was at work
JUST LOOKING AT GHANA, I CAN'T WAIT TO 1DAY VISIT THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, I m from Kenya via the U.S.GREAT VLOG FOR SURE.
Nubuke Definitely has the best LIFE! bing in Accra but still in this beautiful functional place. I wish there would build more communities like this.
The University is massive and beautiful, I loved the air view. Such a great value for the money! She is so beautiful, wonderful outgoing personality and that smile. I liked your outfits very cute.
I really enjoy this kind of content. I always wanted to see some universities in Africa.
Thank you, what other kind of content would you like to see?
Thank you very much for your story, precious, I totally feel you on the thesis part. Meeting the Criteria was my biggest hurdle too. I want Micah and Sophie To go here too 😍
U ve left us please. De way I was so disappointed errr..
Many people are disappointed that you left Ghana. @ Acheampong Family
But it will be super nice to see you and the family back again in Ghana. @ Acheampong Family
@@owusuacheampong8575 what will their presence in Gh bring people exactly?
@@naanaa7699 A lot of benefits to me but it's ok if their presence in Ghana does not benefits you. Thanks
This was so amazing! Oh how I miss Ghana. 🙏🏿🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
A good discovery of the University of Ghana Legon campus, very informative as always !!!
What an opportunity for an official of the uni to contact our Vanessa Kanbi to showcase the entire campus ☀️🙏🏾
@@unitedafrica8778 wow that’s cool. Reminds me of OAU in Nigeria (formally university of Ife). I’m not sure if it’s still as nice as I remember, but it had similar vibes to this including hills and forests.
When I think of a university campus, something like this is what I imagine. It's beautiful and very green. The style reminds me of Stanford's campus.
Love the video 🤩 omg 7 am classes i could never 😭
Proudly Ghanaian,thank you Kwame Nkrumah
Cheers to new beginnings the African experience ,new narratives
Fresh eye's on the other side of the world # most insightful # one love fr Jamaica 🇯🇲
🇯🇲 Building architecture, landscaping & general infrastructural layout looks very modern & harmonious.
Once saw a video of a university in Kenyan (lecture hall & dormitory) and was so disappointed with its dinginess, antiquated furniture & peeling paint on the walls.
Aawww that Nubuke human is so lovely, I like her smile :)
As a Legon baby you Nubuke should be showing us all the nook and crannies like Vandal city, romantic Accra-by-night crescent, VCs lodge, Little Legon and Ayedo flats etc.
You just appeared here giving yourself fans. Mtcheww 🤩🤩🤩😎
@@kofig3724 look at that, you seem to know the locations 😂. You do it!
Thanks for this video! I graduated from Legon from the School of Business (Bsc) in juli 1979, that makes it 42 years ago and have since then lived and worked in the Netherlands. Looking at the surroundings of Legon makes me feel very happy but at the same time makes me miss the surroundings of the University and Ghana in general. In my days the accomodation for students were much better than today, one had a room to him or herself. I guess the accomodation has improved as the number of students has massively increased. Thanks again!
No it hasn't sadly.
Mamprobi thanks for sharing your memories,
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 You are welcome bro!
Damn I wasn't even born.
@@christopherlevinanakofigug1178 I was born in the year 1982.
I’m proud to be a legon student 💕I was in Evandy hostel 💕
Love the greenery at the university 😍
This is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing!
The campus is so huge, some times you need a taxi to go to the other part of it. Beautiful campus can match some unversities in the west
The University of Ghana is beautiful! Nice interview.
I loved walking around the campus! 😁
wow i have never seen an overhead shot of Un. of Ghana b4
looks beautiful
Thanks
Beautiful, clean and nice roads with pavements! Wish most of the streets in Ghana would have pavements too.
Okay, I'm barely a minute in so far and-- did yall plan this color/fit coordination? 👏🏿-👏🏿 Love a good sync if not 💕
And since you mention it at the end, I definitely watched the entire video 🖤 Love and respect your content Vanessa!
What a beautiful college campus
Looks Like a Great School to Attend!! Vanessa you are Wonderful as usual and so are your Guest!!
I always Like before I even Watch. 1 ❤️ Vane.
Same here 😅
University of Ghana to the world!!!
That’s my school. I had so much fun there.
Vanessa are you a giant or on stilettos or is Precious shorter? This content is really informative.
Budget : simple and clear. Still cheaper than the UK for Foreigners . Precious, it is so nice of you to give your Impressions.
When to we get a tour of the University if you are authorised to do it. It is the best publicity I have seen for an African University.
many universities "abroad" don't even have campuses.
Memories of Legon lives with you forever. What a place. I am privileged. Thank you for the video and many thanks to Legon. You made me what I am today.
I used to love a spot behind the great hall called Accra by night. I was in commonwealth hall and I will take a stroll up the hill at night and see most of Accra .such a beautiful sight. This was in the late 90s.
Thank you Vanessa for this video with this interesting content. Thank you Hanna for sharing your experience with us. Good continuation. God bless you both.
Great video as usual 🙏 Venessa Kanbi 🇬🇭🙏🇬🇭❤️
met Precious Hanah one time.. she's cool and very respectful
UG good job with green environment keep it up more trees
A little trivia: The whole of Accra was supposed to look like this (Planning, architecture, etc), that was plan of the government officials way back then but it didn't pan out.
That would have been so so wonderful 🤩, and i am certain this is possible.
Yes u are right Nkrumah's regime was the best
No. The British actually planned Accra/legon. Accra would have been prettier than it is now, with public squares, fountains etc. Nkrumah changed the original British plan. The same British had a master plan for Nairobi, and it's been followed up to today
Well Legon is a masterpiece of Architecture from the 1960s,However it could have been better than it is today in 2021.
It is a human institution not perfect but it can get better with time and age.
Check social Media,Petty theft is growing throughout the nation of Ghana.
Last us keep Ghana safe from Thieves and Criminals.
That opening drone shot has me making a detour to visit the university. Great video, as always.
Thanks so much! You should visit!
@@VanessaKanbi I'll be there next week.
Excellent cinematography (especially ariel shots), also good timing to take this video when it is green.
It's mostly green till dry seasons😄
Watching this when autumn and winter are starting here in UK I admire and evy you 2 ladies
I have to say Mrs Kanbi your videos are always very informative and amazing. Please keep up the great work. Much love and many blessings to you.
Thank you! You too!
Love the University so massive, you two basically got the same outfits so nice
Absolutely loved this video
Thanks!! What other content would you like to see?
We need part 2 of University of Ghana.
That was so much fun to watch, and O those drones shots! 👌🏾
Thank you! I love those shots too 😁
I'm a proud legonite, Vanessa please another video of Legon. Great Hall, different Halls, Balme library, lecture theatres etc
💫
My school 😘 the great OKPONGLO HARVARD 😍
Another great content Vanessa 👍🏼
I’m sure the person that disliked this video is ignorant of what that button is.
They're probably trolls/bots or ignorant people who think life in western and eastern countries are great for Black people.
The person probably applied but did not get in.😊
@@pramaccra3106 lol
😏
This is beautiful.....nothing like any university in England..Massive
I'll love it if you make a video about some guesthouses in Ghana...Accra and more cities...thank you Vane love you !!!
Absolutely delightful video! Informative inspiring endearing!
I love this interview, really really nice vibe, we need a part 2
You have to consider coming to university of cape coast
I miss Ghana 🇨🇦
Why Babylon flag instead of mother GHANA 🇬🇭? Bloodklat
@@redgoldgreen9960 how is Canada Babylon?
The best University in Ghana, Period!!!!
Knust has the best campus... Well planned... It's considered the best university in West Africa and 7th best in Africa
Oh really, I need to check It out!
@Jake Kim Lie detected
Where’s this lie from 😂😂
It's greener we have a little forest reserve with stream passing through . It's beautiful
KNUST isn't bad but University of Ghana, Legon is better.
Vanessa we are waiting for tour in all the universities in Ghana.
The campus is really nice. The rest of Accra should be as neat as the campus.
Totally agree
💯
In person the campus looks different. The students have their clothes hanging all outside the buildings look different inside . The road is the nice part
@@criscris1840 hanging cloths outside is very normal.
Thank you for this Vanessa! Love your content! I would love to see more of this campus and others as well. Especially the dance departments! Anything DANCE related ! Dance studios , schools ,companies etc!😁💃🏿😊💃🏿
Loved this! More young people and local students :)
Ooo Recycling! Pavement! How did I miss this oasis on my last visit. All the more reason for another visit.
Great to see the recycling on campus and it was definitely in use, as were the pavements 😄
Great video Vanessa! Keep it up.
Vanessa, you're different. Your neckwear is great. Don't quit like "men"
I smiled all the way through. Great content!
Did you coordinate your clothes? :).
I'll like to see more of the legon campus pls. Kindly do a tour of tye various universities in Ghana . Kudos to you
I plan on going back 😀
Hi Vanessa!! Very nice. Though I've never been to the UofG, I'm sure that it's an excellent institution to learn in🤗🤗. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!
It is sure is a great School to attend If given the Opportuntiy.
The history and the Geography Courses are unpredictable because of the calibre of Students who accept entrance unto the School since the early 2000 decade.
I suggest Geography Geology and History as therapy for the University system.
Ronald Cutie you ought to visit the School soon.
@@jamesbedukodjograham5508 we'll see🙂
@@ronaldcuieii4775 Thanks for the reply.
Wow very nice one sister God blessed you Amen and Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Vanessa..I love this vlog!!! You have awakened the itch in me to get a Ghanaian passport for my US born kids..I went to secondary school in Ghana but not UNI..I will live it thru them..lol
Dont force your dreams on your kids..its not a good thing.. it cause depression...let them follow their own desires
@@kaydee934 I won't force but offer it as an option..depression is real ..also kids need guidance..not forced..this.life journey is rough and sometimes those who have gone through should serve as a guide so the young ones can do better..
If you are in the UK, it may not be a bad deal for the kids (especially if they intend working in UK/Europe or Ghana with their degree). However, should they land in the US, they will find a lot of challenges with the Ghanaian degree especially in the licensed professions (Medicine, Engineering etc). This has got nothing to do with the quality of our education but how things are structured in Ghana vs US. If your kids did A-levels in UK before pursuing college (either in Ghana or UK) they will be able to overcome some of these red tapes here in the US easily without much stress.
@@deeeball Very true but Ghana is our Country and all we have to do is to negotiate for the Total Recognition of our Degrees and Certificates.
It Is quite ironic that Ghanaian Degrees are not fully recognized in the Western World.
Why didn't our successive Governements make deals with Foreign nations Concerning the value of our Degrees.
Apart from Hungary and Swdeden Other nations have not fully accepted Gh Degrees.
However the UK and France now fully accept our Degrees.
On a Historical note America should have never gone into Vietnam to interfere with the affairs of other nations at all.
I enjoy all of your videos, Ghana needs to hire you for real.
The university. I love my school
Great school.. amazing environment
The food at the restaurants at Legón are fantastic. I can still taste the fried fish with shito. Btw, this my dad’s Alma mater and we visited in the early 00s
Feel like sending my kids there🎉🤗
I feel like I want more.
I hope our generation can make Ghana better. 🇬🇭 No bribe.
Vanessa give us Legon over view one day,hall by hall,
Great content. Beautiful place
I am always proud to be a Legon student
Studying political science 😍🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
You should be proud! 🙌🏽
Impressive. I wish I had gone to that uni.
Wait one damn minute!!!!! $80 a month for accommodation - more or less $1200 a year when I pay $1300 a month in San Francisco???!!!! I feel like I'm getting scammed.
Oh yeah😂
It is a beautiful campus
Her mom is the legendary Kelly or Nelly Gadzepko. Very famous in Ghana
Whose mum?
Beautiful campus 😍
What strikes me, is the sheer size of the campus compared to the ones here in Scotland. It’s like a small village, I’d definitely be late for classes 😂 A lovely campus nonetheless!
Ok, great: now I want to come and study there, too! 😃
It makes me want to go back to Uni/college too 😂
@@VanessaKanbi ok, so what are we going to study and who will pay our study fees?😆
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this beautiful post.
Thanks again!
Great outline as well!!
