My experience studying for a Bachelor of Computer Science at the University of the People has been both challenging and rewarding. What stood out most to me is the tuition-free education, which gave me an opportunity to pursue my degree despite financial limitations in Kenya. The flexible online learning system has allowed me to balance studies, work, and family responsibilities effectively. I have also appreciated supportive instructors who encourage students and provide guidance throughout the courses. The discussion forums create a diverse global classroom experience where students learn from one another. Deadlines in an online environment take discipline, but this experience has helped me grow academically, professionally and personally.
