She expressed concern about the unrealistic expectations associated with campus romance, particularly for women.

According to her, many young women expect to marry their university partners immediately after graduation without considering the financial realities of life.

However, people who complete the university are not financially sound and struggle to meet their own needs, let alone those of a spouse and family.

Netizens react to Ghanaian lecturer's dating advice

Netizens who saw the video of the lecturer advising students against dating their classmates expressed mixed reactions. While some agreed with her, others did not.

"What she’s saying is if no fact, just assumptions without basis. Does it mean that all uni students complete at the age of 22 or 21? I will be 26 in April and I haven’t completed uni, how would you explain this? Just look out for someone who best suits you in all aspects. Simple."

@EverpureQwecy wrote:

"That's why you date understanding and sensible partners. You outline goals to each other and see if that will work for both parties before you get into it. I agree with what she said but it doesn't mean it's impossible."
