Kenyans have taken to social media to depict the quality of life in Kenyan universities.

A lot of the stories are utterly eye-opening while others are downright shocking. From stories of starvation to stories of students studying for exams at the very last minute, the hashtag gives an insight into an unsung monster; the woes that students in most Kenyan public universities go through.

Mental Health Struggles

A lot of the tweets pointed toward one pertinent issue: Mental health struggles. At a time when suicide cases have increased exponentially, many people seemed to attribute it to the struggles that campus-going students grapple with. A unanimous agreement about the struggles haunting students later in life came up.

Tales of graduates resorting to menial jobs after being unable to secure jobs have been rampant in the country.

Cry For Help

Neglect by relatives and close people was also brought up relentlessly. People called on relatives and those who know anybody who knows of any student to seek them a stipend that could see them through a given amount of time.
