Student review [#100667] for Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media
at Daystar University

My time at Daystar University really showed me what it means for an institution to be student centered. One thing I’ll never forget is how they handled the lockdown period in Kenya. While everything was shutting down, Daystar didn’t skip a beat and moved us immediately to Zoom and Google Meet. Because they were so prepared, we never lost time and were able to graduate right on schedule, which was a huge relief compared to what students in other universities were facing.
The environment itself is perfect if you’re someone who needs a quiet place to focus. Since the campus is tucked away from the noisy parts of the city, it’s incredibly peaceful and conducive for studying. The infrastructure is solid and well maintained, though I’d tell anyone joining that you should definitely plan your transport or stay on campus since being away from the noise also means being a bit further out from the city center.
The lecturers are probably the best part because they don’t just teach and leave; they are actually there to assist whenever you’re stuck. If you’re coming into the communication department, my advice is to get into the labs as early as possible. The facilities are great for hands on learning, but you have to be proactive to get the most out of them. It’s a balanced experience where you get a lot of support, provided you’re willing to put in the work and engage with the community.
