The Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA)
The expansive campus has
maintained the up market Karen feel with large green spaces doted with
trees. In spite of the buildings coming up in the campus, CUEA has tried
to keep in harmony with the environment.
The new library, which also
houses the ultra-modern hall that housed the Jubilee Communication
Centre during the elections, is arguably the best University library in
the region. Everything is automated including borrowing and returning
books. Now that’s digital. Most buildings including lecture halls have
natural light minimizing on the use of too much energy for light.
Strathmore University
The University has really come of age, investing on the
infrastructure and the students in a massive way.
The architecture of
some of the new buildings is simply breathtaking. The student
centre/cafeteria and the Strathmore Business School building
particularly stand out. But the lack of green spaces and enough trees
steals the shine from Strathmore.
University of Nairobi
The oldest and biggest university in Kenya has kept its clean and
grandeur look. You may not notice the beauty of UoN Main Campus from
outside but once you are in, you forget you are in the CBD.
The
university is surrounded by a very well maintained green environment
that one wonders how it is one of the most ancient universities in the
country. Chiromo campus is also notably beautiful with a lot of trees
and areas where students can chill outside and study.
The iconic
Fountain of Knowledge stands out though the JKM Library needs an
upgrade.
Kenyatta University
This ‘University City’ has transformed over the last few years to
become a pace setter in Kenya’s higher education. Visitors often get
lost in the massive campus on Thika road.
But thanks to the
administration, the labeled street signs and direction boards give clear
directions. The streets are clean and fences well manicured. The jewel
of KU campus is the post-modern Library which lights up beautifully at
night.
United States International University (USIU)
And the most beautiful University in Kenya goes to USIU. You get that
calming feeling when you enter the campus. USIU has the best balance
between infrastructure and the green spaces.
The lawn is always
maintained plus the lecture halls are up to international standards
equipped with multimedia equipment. Just like KU, USIU’s library is the
icing on the cake.
