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.

Positive experience at cooperative university

I appreciated the practical and interactive classes, and the professors were very supportive, making learning enjoyable. I would like to see more student activities and leadership opportunities to further enhance the experience. I encourage the university to continue expanding mentorship and leadership programs for students."

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.

University and Friendships

The college experience for me was the greatest platform to create friendships with not only fellow student but with professors too. The university staff was intentional in interacting with students, in class and outside class. The university organized events that made these interactions possible and easy. This was one of the best things in my campus life

professionalism

Strathmore University is indeed widely regarded as one of the top private universities in Kenya, especially for its focus on professionalism, discipline, and quality education. Its reputation for academic excellence, especially in business, law, and technology, has made it a preferred choice for many students.
