There are campuses and there are beautiful campuses. With the mushrooming universities all over the country, aesthetic may just be the defining factor that will make students choose a particular campus over another. Of course the learning environment contributes to the overall performance of students. Try concentrating on a Math derivation on a building next to a busy road and you will agree with me. Granted, beauty is subjective. No parent says their kid is ugly. So this is my list of what I think is five of the most beautiful campuses in Kenya. You can agree or disagree on the comment section.
1. USIU
2. KU
3. UoN
4. Strathmore
5. CUEA

5. The Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA)
At number five is CUEA in Langata, Nairobi. 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.

Moi University( main campus) should be included. The trees and shrubs found there cannot be found in any of the above and the Margret thatcher library though aging gracefully is still the best this part of Africa.

The picture used to depict Kenyatta University (the one with trees) is actually from JKUAT Juja & not KU..

I see pple are skewed in their opinion, depending on which Campus they attended. ‘gataceraga kaugaga no nyina uui kuruga’ Kikuyu proverb meaning, ‘the one who keeps near his/her mother thinks she is the only good cook’
UEAB

Don’t mistake glazed facades and splashy glass for beautiful architecture. Beauty is a balance between utility, meaning, planning and aesthetics, and not aesthetics.

My University, KU, is right where it belongs. Had it not been a public University, it would be tops. Next time compare public against public and private against private, then we compare the winning two.

Like Kenya Methodist Meru would be the most beautiful, followed by USIU, African Nazarene, CUEA and maybe Dedan Kimathi is also quite good.

What a stupid discussion, why don’t you ask your self. what have you obtained from those beautiful campuses. graduate from all these Kenyan universities have good scores, majority ranging from 1st class to second lower, but they do perform poorly at work place. The universities should create beautiful and skilled workforce instead of creating beautiful campus environments, .
