It's always a pleasure whenever you are admitted to campus as it's a beginning of a better future.However those who have gone through the  system will let you know there is more to University life than the known positive idea of getting knowledge , skills and a better job.Many people join campus having hopes that the place will prepare them for their future careers.

Other than education, weekend dinners and night outs ought to be essential necessities for some of the students. University also comes with the pressure of fitting in a certain social class so as not to be considered "a village idiot". Hence, majority of the students rather than focusing on their careers, they are busy perfecting their social life to impress the community unaware of the later outcomes.

The female counterparts are the most vulnerable species in such an environment. Unknown to them, their emotional and physical states are the most endangered. Physically they are prone sexual abuses with the worst being victims of rape cases. Emotionally they aren't spared either especially when it comes to matters of the heart. This comes with the complicated love triangle where every lady in campus is dating but at the same time every guy in campus is single. The outcome to this, are heartbreaks which might in turn lead to suicide cases.

For ladies, each academic year brings self discovery ideas that lead them to engage in new crazy things and they are always ready to test the experience. The outcomes for these are a series of life threatening abortions, heartbreaks and constant drop down in academics. For instance, hitting the gym for physical fitness and wearing of heavy make-up to enhance their beauty, so as to become attractive for the opposite gender, are some of the self discovery ideas for majority of the campus females.

Beauty, they say is a gift from God but to most beautiful young ladies in campuses, it's some sort of a curse which they heavily get punished for. This comes with the situations where they are forced to pay for their good grades using their bodies. Some of their lectures who are supposed to be there gardians and protectors in such an environment, turn out to be there most dreadful nightmares. In order to satisfy there lustrous bodily pleasures, they take advantage of this young ladies, by blackmailing and threatening to fail them in examinations. Most of these shameless lecturers are even old enough to be this girls' fathers.

It's always heartbreaking and a pity to realize that after graduation, most of the ladies are already wasted hence ready to settle with anyone who accepts them for marriage. What pains the most is to realize that most of these ladies are already infected with life threatening diseases hence the acquired education will nolonger be beneficial to them.

It's high time the community and the education sector join forces and fomulate measures to cushion the girl-child in higher learning institutions.
