The campus of UNILAG is located in Lagos. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. UNILAG accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
