Welcome to campus, freshers

This is the month our ‘Matiang’i siblings’ are joining us to quench their thirst of knowledge for higher education in the many (a little too many) universities in Kenya. In their pursuit to get here, there have been a few misconceptions about universities conditioned over time. Some are true, some are preposterous lies generated in good strides to motivate high schoolers.

 Some of these lies have gained dignity over time and are now considered true, most are outrageous lies that mislead everyone just to end up disappointed when they get here.

Due to ignorance and crowd mentality, some of this lies end up being practiced. To our new university students, you are in luck. They say if you want to effect change, you start in the roots. Let’s nip these garish habits in the bud. So, new students here are a few things you need to know about being a university student.
