Campus survival guide for freshers

Kenyan universities have been closed for a while now, all thanks to the election brouhaha. But they’re about to open again. And, with that, a new wave of socially and academically ‘green’ students will be joining as well. This lot is commonly called ‘freshers.’ If you are one of these people, then this article is for you. I’m going to give a few tips on how to survive in campus for the first few weeks. Listen keenly.

Foremost; acquaint yourself with the school. Know where all the lecture halls, lavatories, and offices are. You don’t want to be that guy that will be told the calculus class will be in Room 19 and you have no idea where that is. Just because you’re new doesn’t mean you should be stupid.
