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.
