It's a very good institution. What I like about the school is that it's meet up with school calendar and there is no strike. But my dislike for the institution is the bills that keep increasing. So the institution should find a means on how student can cope about the bills.
The kwara state polytechnic Ilorin is a great institution for learning,it provides good learning facilities for students, although still making great effort to improve but at the point it is,I can say the institution is making a great difference among other polytechnics,in terms of of learning facilities like, machine operation for engineering students, laboratories, good lecture room that are well furnished inorder to achieve and provide good and conducive learning environments for students. The lectures are great people with great teaching skills, their teaching style has helped a lot of students see the need to focused in their academics in order to archive their academic goals. My experience throughout my years of study at kwara state polytechnic is immensely great,I benefited greatly,I was able to meet new people from different states in Nigeria with different cultures,my period at kwara state polytechnic also exposed and taught me about the culture of people from kwara state. There's a lot more to say about my institution and great love my experiences there,kwara state polytechnic is an institution I will always recommend to aspiring students of higher institutions.
