“Nothing was hard. It was just a choice to study slowly and take our time. Why the hurry?” one of the graduates said as his friend stood beside him.
His colleague said he had also spent seven years at the university, insisting there was no rush to complete his studies.

The pair explained that they were pursuing a Bachelor of Education Science degree, which they intentionally stretched beyond the normal four-year duration.
The Kenyatta University graduates noted that the programme included mathematics, which they described as the most challenging part of the course.
“We are feeling so good, it’s amazing to finally complete our course. If anyone is planning to join KU, we welcome them and say, ‘Welcome to the Premier University.’ They will love it here. We don’t even know where we’ll go to celebrate from here,” they said.
The graduates wore broad smiles as they celebrated the milestone, proud of overcoming the long academic journey.

“Seven years??? I’m only in my first year. If there’s no long holiday, I don’t know what I’ll do.”

“The funny thing about life is that someone can stay at university for seven years and get a job immediately after graduating, while another person who finished in four years is still job hunting. Everyone’s success comes at a different time.”
Hon. Thomas Musyimi:
“Roba, we stayed in Longonot Hostel together back in 2020. Congratulations, Kibro. A win is a win.”
