Forget heavy drinking and partying associated with Medicine and Engineering students; Arts students are now said to be the rowdiest and noisiest lot in Kenyan campuses, according to an informal survey by Campus Vibe.

Makena Andrew studies at The University of Nairobi where BA students have been nicknamed ‘Being Around.’ Makena studies Linguistics, an arts course, and says that arts students are not mechanical. “We are more in touch with reality.
