hello guys welcome back to my youtube

channel welcome back to another video if

you're new here thank you for tuning in

and my name is adifya and you're welcome

yes so in today's video we are going to

be talking about the things that

you don't have to bring to indeed

so in my previous video i spoke about

the essential things that you have to

bring to the university so if you

haven't watched that video or you

haven't chanced upon it

i'm going to put the video link

up here or here or in the description so

all you need to do is click on it and

it'll give you access and give you

direct access to the video so before i

said that most of times you might have

people

coming to the university and they are so

confused as to what to bring and what

not to bring so in an earlier video i

spoke about the things that you would

need to bring

to the university so today i am here to

talk about the things that you do not

need to bring to the university and i

bet you if you do bring it um you might

have to retain it because if you most of

time to the things that you need which

are the essentials you'd realize that

after you've brought it you end up not

using them so you either take it back

home or it just occupies space which is

totally a waste of time so

if you if you are watching this video i

want to thank you and um if it just if

it just popped up on your recommendation

list thank you for clicking on this um

video and be sure to watch the full

video and all my videos because i bring

you very interesting content so you'd

like to stay with me um so getting right

into it

if i do not mention all the things you

do not need please be sure to

let

let me know in the comment section leave

your ideas in there just so other people

can learn or take a few things out of

the video so the first thing you do not

need when you're coming to the

university is a child box

a top box or a trunk most of the times

when you're going to the um shares

that's where you need your trouble to a

trunk or you're coming here there isn't

too much space for it to walk to a trunk

you just need your suitcase and other

relevant stuff i mentioned in the

previous video so you don't need a

trouble you also

do not need a trunk

or

yes you don't need a trunk so you don't

need a mortar or a

pesto need this at all you don't need

them because

the system the the way the plate has

been designed which is if you're a

first-year student when you're coming to

knust the way that place is design i

don't think it will be very conducive

for you to use um a water or pistol you

as well do not need a washing machine

if you are someone who cannot do the

washing yourself we have other um we

have vendettes that's it laundry vendors

i hope all right here we have laundry

vendors that you can give your stuff to

that they can wash it and then bring it

back to you very clean and sharp you

also do not need an air conditioner

you don't need an air conditioner even

though the sizes of the room um is quite

small

you will still need you know obviously

there's this hand fan maybe you might

need it i recommend that instead of an

air conditioner but if you move out of

the hole switch it up the first way and

you're going to a private hostel then

you can use that so here's a disclaimer

i am speaking on behalf of every

frenchman who is going to a hall all

right and not a hostile so these are the

things that you need either queens

katanga um

continental africa

you name them even this applies to

students and and the university of ghana

which is legal at ucc um at uds at uh

you would

need this information you also do not

need a gas or a stove

in place of a gas which is um sorry

you don't need a gas stove

nor a cylinder instead you need an

electric

stove or we call it a hot plate

that's what you need for your cooking

because you want to try as much as

possible to prevent a lot of casualties

also if you move out of the hotel or the

whole story this is when you can

possibly use the gas stove or the

cylinder maybe

you also do not need a table or a desk

because the room sizes aren't

pretty much bigger for you to bring in a

desk or a table so you wouldn't need

that

because the school also tries as much as

possible to give you

a decks or a table in your room to make

studies very comfortable someone might

be asking why shouldn't i bring a deck

to a table because i want to be very

serious and i want to take my academics

very serious yes

in every hall they try their best or

isn't they they don't even try in every

hall there is a steady room which has

been designated

or there is in every in every hall there

is a steady room that each student can

use so you can just walk in the working

distance isn't far or the school also

has a library where each student can go

and study and that is the reason why you

do not need a desk or a table when you

are coming to the investing you also do

need an ironing board as i said earlier

the room sizes are not pretty much big

so you don't know what to carry all

these things here

before i said even with the essentials

you end up finding out that

they are all not important and you end

up finding out that you are not using

all these things so please do not bring

them but when it's time for you to move

out of the halls that is when you can

bring

maybe some of these things but i'm

saying that they are not

important so these are pretty much the

styles i could get my hands on that i

believe that they are not really

important when you are coming to the

university

okay guys so at the time with which this

video is being recorded all these things

are not needed in the investing

especially when you are coming to faith

say oh i hope i mentioned this cohort it

isn't necessary for charcoal but all

these things are not important or

necessary when you are coming to face it

so then i hope that this information is

very relevant to you and then you can

use it when you are in your preparation

process and be sure to share the video

to anyone that wants to come to the

industry and is quite confused as to

what to pack and what not to pack thank

you so much for watching today's video

and i'll be back with more interesting

and informative videos as this

um thank you thank you

[Music]
