Monmouth University
Definitely a good school if you're staying on campus to live, but as a commuter, you don't really get to interact as much unless you join clubs. The faculty there really does help you out if you seek assistance in anything you need help with. The school wasn't my first choice but I chose it because financially it offered me almost everything so I wouldn't have to put my parents through paying off debt in the future. Although it's nothing like what I would've imagined, I still really like the campus.
My experience at The Technical University of Kenya
The Technical University of Kenya gave me an opportunity to explore the field of Laboratory medicine to its core. Learning environment was conducive with all requirements for the teaching the degree course both theoretically and practically. I got an opportunity to be attached to The Nairobi Hospital, one of the best in East African region and appreciated the relevance of course work as taught in the school of health sciences at the University. The dons were quite approachable and friendly ,always ready to assist me to gain knowledge and pass my examinations.
