USIU TIMES

If I had to rate USIU I would rate it 8/10. my experience so far has been good overall. What I enjoy most is the classroom interactions with the class and the lecturer. I also like the diversity of religions, cultures, and overall personalities. Some of my dislikes are they don't have a vast variety of food at the University. I would gladly recommend it.

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.

School as a flame of knowledge.

It is a good place to learn and fully explore your career. What I like is the commitment of the staff to make the school a better place. And what I dislike is the cold weather that makes school experience bad ,at times. I recommend that the school to have enough infrastructure for the well being of the students especially the lecture hall seats.
