VOX POLL: Students to share their opinion on Off-Campus life Is better than school hostel

By Okeowo Jesuferanmi O. and Olanrewaju Opeyemi D.

A vox poll was conducted among students of the Department of Special Education, University of Ibadan, affiliated with the Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo. Students were asked to share their opinions on whether living off campus is better than residing in the school hostel, while reflecting on their personal experiences.
Below are some of their responses:

Oladele Omotolani, 300L student
I believe living off campus is better than staying in the school hostel because it offers a more comfortable environment and allows students to enjoy greater independence.

Abdulaih Yusuf Olanrewaju, 300L student
I prefer living off campus because the school hostel lacks some of the basic amenities required for comfortable living. I would advise students who have the opportunity to consider staying off campus.

Adeniji Esther, 300L student
I prefer living off campus because it gives me the freedom to live the lifestyle I want, Unlike the school hostel. I can make my own decisions and enjoy more independence.

Ajadi Grace, 300L SPE/MAT student
I prefer living off campus because it gives me easier access to essential facilities and fewer restrictions. There are many limitations in the school hostel, which is why I would rather stay outside the campus.

Oyetunde Rachel Atinuke, 300L SPE/CRS student
I believe living off campus is better because it provides privacy, comfort, and better security. When I first entered the school hostel, I was discouraged by the unpleasant environment and overcrowded rooms. Living with many students in one room reduces privacy, and there are concerns about the safety of personal belongings.

Students living in school hostels have little control over maintenance or security because the facilities belong to the institution. However, those living off campus can easily work with their landlords or caretakers to improve security and repair damaged facilities whenever necessary. These factors make off-campus accommodation a better option in my opinion.

Joshua Owolabi, 300L student
I have considered living in a school hostel. During my NCE programme, I intended to stay there, but after seeing the condition of the hostel and experiencing the unpleasant smell, I changed my mind.

Muminat Lolade Abubakre, 300L student
In my opinion, living off campus is better because students are less likely to be affected by conflicts, cult-related issues, or political unrest that may arise within the school hostel. Students living off campus also have the flexibility to remain in their accommodation during holidays if they choose.

Adeleke Quyyum, 300L student
I cannot live in the school hostel because of the experiences shared by one of my friends who stayed there. According to him, theft is common, students often depend excessively on one another, and the environment is not always neat or pleasant.

Adedeji Bolanle, 400L student
Off-campus accommodation is better because it offers more freedom and privacy. Students also have access to personal toilets and bathrooms, unlike the school hostel, where facilities are shared. In addition, electricity supply is often inadequate.

Oladosu Taiwo, 400L student
I believe off-campus living is better because it gives students more freedom. The school hostel has many rules and is often overcrowded. Living off campus also allows students to choose where they want to stay and who they want to live with.

Awodiya Ruth, 400L student
I prefer living off campus because the school hostel is overcrowded, lacks cleanliness, and often experiences poor electricity supply.

Yusuf Abiola, 400L student
I prefer living off campus because there is less overcrowding, greater privacy, and improved security for personal belongings. The environment is generally cleaner and more comfortable.

Raimi Fatimah
I prefer living off campus because I experienced inadequate electricity, poor feeding arrangements, and cases of theft while staying in the school hostel.

Ogundanu Elizabeth and Adeosun Elizabeth
Our experience in the school hostel included bedbug infestation and lack of privacy due to shared rooms. We prefer living off campus because it provides personal space and greater comfort.

Nurudeen Lateef Ayobami
I prefer living off campus because school hostel regulations limit students’ movement and opportunities to explore. I also believe off-campus accommodation provides better security.

Ojo Iyanuoluwa Jumoke
I prefer living off campus because I value my privacy. My experience during my NCE programme convinced me that I am more comfortable living alone rather than sharing a room with others.

Conclusion
The vox poll reveals that the majority of students favour off-campus accommodation over the school hostel. Respondents highlighted advantages such as greater privacy, freedom, improved security, better hygiene, and access to essential amenities.

Overall, the responses suggest that while students appreciate the convenience of on-campus accommodation, many believe improvements in hostel facilities, security, sanitation, and basic amenities would make school hostels more attractive and comfortable for residents.

Able Voice
PANEL DISCUSSION: Questions and responses on Stigmatization in the disabilities Ecosystem

This interactive session was moderated by Mr. Apex, while the panelists, Dr Bolaji Y.O. and Mr. Oyedemi Oluwatobi, responded to questions from the moderator and participants on key issues relating to stigmatization, disability inclusion, and advocacy.

Question: What is stigmatization?
The panelists: she explained that stigmatization is the act of having the wrong motion towards someone, lowering people's capabilities, not making the environment accessible for others, not including them in other activities mostly because of their disabilities. She noted that it often stems from ignorance, stereotypes, and misconceptions, encouraging participants to focus on the abilities of persons with disabilities rather than their limitations.

Question: What are the different forms of stigma?
The panelist: He identified and discussed the four major forms of stigma. He explained that self stigmatisation is when the person with the disabilities believe they are not fit into some places and internalize society's negative perceptions, causing them to underestimate their own abilities and potential. Public stigmatisation involves every other member of the society, making reference to one Ghana minister who fights against people ending sentences for stammerers. Systemic stigmatisation is not having access to public resources mostly bank, people with physical challenges are not accessible to bank because of their supportive devices. Associative stigma includes parents of the individual who don't want people to know they have a child with disabilities.

Question: Where does the stereotype come from?
The panelist: She explained that stereotypes often originate from you and I, within families and communities before spreading to the wider society. She emphasized that sustained advocacy, public education, and positive representation of persons with disabilities are essential to eliminating these harmful beliefs.

Question: What are the major challenges facing inclusive education and disability advocacy in Nigeria?
The panelist: He highlighted inadequate funding, limited access to assistive devices and equipment, and the poor implementation of inclusive education policies as major barriers. He urged governments, educational institutions, parents, and other stakeholders to collaborate in addressing these challenges.

Question: How can families of persons with disabilities be supported?
The Panelist: He recommended continuous counselling, emotional support, advocacy, community engagement, and ensuring that parents have access to accurate information, professional assessments, and intervention services.

Question: What role can individuals play in reducing stigmatization?
The Panelist: encouraged participants to become ambassadors against stigmatization by promoting disability awareness, treating persons with disabilities with dignity and respect, and using inclusive language in their daily interactions. He emphasized that disability advocacy requires passion, patience, and commitment, describing special education as not merely a profession but a calling.
