The first few weeks in university is a period of disorientation for new students, popularly known as freshmen, who are yet to adjust to their new surroundings.

However, freshmen going to Dedan Kimathi University of Technology will have no such challenges since a group of students have come up with a mobile application which will help new students navigate the institution with ease.
