When quizzed on his initial reaction to realising that the University of Cape Coast had offered him admission, he confessed that he was scared.
He explained that people with whom he interacted about his admission gave him the impression that UCC students are bookish, adding that they even attend preps.
"I heard a lot about UCC before coming. They said that once you come, you have to go for preps. I was also told that there is tension here. I heard a lot about UCC, and I was really scared."
He, however, expressed his desire to study hard and graduate with a first class at the end of his four-year stay on campus.
Another first-year student, Emmanuel Mensah, who was interviewed, expressed joy at being a student at the University of Cape Coast.
He said he was particularly enthused about the prospects of studying at UCC due to the university's academic performance coupled with the success chalked up by its alumni in diverse fields of endeavour.
"Due to their academic excellence, that was the main reason why I chose UCC, and I have heard a lot of the school. The students of UCC gain job opportunities. That is why I chose to come here," he told the interviewer.
At the time of writing, the video had raked in over 500 likes and 27 comments.
