Hands-On and Practical Learning

Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology is one of the best universities in Kenya, as a personal opinion and one that is recommended nationally. I went there first because it was a few kilometres away from home and I wanted the experience of living alone and generally to feel like an adult. It was home away from home, that I even stayed one year later even after graduation. The lecturers were quite tough which was a good thing because I almost didn't graduate because I had missed a few classes. All my practical units that required extra coursework outside class always had the lecturers in attendance even when they didn't have to. My lecturers were very friendly and very practical on what the course I did would translate to once I finished. The security was very good especially for a single female young lady miles away from home. There was plenty of room to study, from parks all around the university, the student centre and the library. You could also easily access help from the administration and get to the staff offices for extra help from our lectures without going through loops. I loved it there and yes, I would recommend it to a family or friend, depending on the course they plan to do. I was an introvert in campus but I remember trying things like rollball, table tennis, pool, drama which are available and active even till date.

My university

I joined this university, not because it offers a high education but because of its conducive environment and supportive lecturers and professors. You can find people with different cultural backgrounds, which makes the university inclusive. One problem that the university shares with most universities in Nairobi, is the lack of ergonomic chairs in ICT rooms and the library.

It is a resourceful and productive school

Students are equipped with all the necessary resources that is lecturers, class equipment, laboratories and lab equipment. However, the school staff may at times be reluctant to cater for students' needs.
