1.
Bedbugs There are so many bedbugs in KU. Especially at the
Nyayo 4 hostel. It is so bad that the hostels
should change their names to Kunguni zone.
2.
Almost dying while queuing to register the semester's units
Every new semester, throngs of humanity congregate
at the Graduation square and have to register for Units they will cover that
semester. Braving the sweltering heat the whole day in KU while registering for
units should become a course. Read
3.
Being a fresher in KU is worse than being a corrupt
politician
Remember being a fresher? Being herded at the
Bishop square? Being taken round the school on tour? Thing is, no one respects
a Fresher. You are naive. You have no taste in fashion and definately have no
money.
4.
Having to trek for Kilometres to a lecture hall KU is like a
small county.
You have to walk so far to a lecture hall. Or
During exams. It makes sense only if you have been to the Art Zone, then school
of Engineering and finally Science Zone the same day. It is like walking to
Mombasa.
5.
Missing marks
Missing marks are KU students worst
nightmare. You want to graduate but you cant because your common units
professor misplaced your CAT papers. Shame.
6.
Eating at KM and thinking you are richer than Jack Ma.
There is this buzzing, dusty city behind KU.
It is called KM. A neighborhood bristling with businesses owned by students and
rampant crime. It has shacks where the most expensive plate of food is Rice and
Ndengu for 70 bob.
7.
Photocopying notes at KM.
The school only buys one book and then all the
students in a class of 250 students have to photocopy the notes at KM. So there
is thriving photocopy business just behind the University.
8.
Students who live in Kahawa Sukari/Engen and Kahawa Wendani
believe they've made it in life
This because you can barely afford
your hostel. So, guys who can comfortably pay a bedsitter in the Kahawa estates
are considered rich. Houses range from KSh 10,000 to 20,000 at the said
estates. Big deal.
9.
Cohabiting with a fellow student to beat the harsh economic
times
Sometimes, a guy meets a girl. They
fall in lust and decide to get a house in KM where they live happily for 4
years and break up before the graduation. This is meant to beat the harsh
economic times in the school and the loneliness thereof
10.
All girls leaving the school on Friday night and returning
on Sunday evening
If you visited KU on a Friday
evening, the only thing you would see would be skimpily dressed girls carrying
huge bags. They claim to be visiting their relaz in Nairobi but we know better.
They are dropped back at school on Sunday evening. With purses full.
11:
Self-sponsored students (SSP) believe they are rich
Students who part with over KSh
80,000 per semester and haven't applied for HELB believe that the rest should
worship the ground upon which they walk.
11. The food
at the Mess is very delicious when you are broke
With a handful of coins, you will get a hot
meat at one of the Messes in KU. Or at the Cafeteria if you're feeling rich.
The Mess is reserved for the lower tier of students who don't have alot to
spend.
12.
Students from Bungoma come back on opening day with sacks of
maize
While staying over at Nyayo 4, some lads would
report back to school with sacks of maize which would then be milled at KM. At
one point, some guy came with a hen an tethered it to the bed post. It clucked
the whole night. As if afraid of what happened the next day.
13.
Cooking in the hostels with faulty electric coils
Most of the sockets in the hostels
have blown up but the students now cleverly connect live wires to electric
coils when they are cooking. Not to mention that the tiny room gets unbearably
hot.
14.
Going for exile because your roommate brought a girl/guy to
the room
When your room mate brings a girl,
you have to get alternative accommodation.
16. Engineering students walk around the
school in helmets and overalls just to look cool Hilarious AF.
