Before we proceed to the business of the day, you need to be really proud of yourself for making it to Uni.

A lot of  people will wish they were in your shoes, so if you are here dier…

Now before you are all bundled up and sent into a huge hall to have an orientation, we would want you to have an unofficial orientation of your campus with us so that… *whispers* you can comfortably skip the main one because forget what anyone will say,

We went ahead and put together like a summary of all the things you are likely to hear from the “OGs”.

We hope you find it useful!

Reviews

Why Ashesi?

• “The diversity and the many opportunities Ashesi offer which gives you a lot of exposure”, Maame Efua Haizel (class of 2019).
• “I chose it because I didn’t really know what major to pursue. But being in the environment alone adds much value that has nothing to do with your course. As a matter of fact if you’re wise you walk away with something more than a degree”, Carol Armah (class of 2019).
• “New experience, environment and exposure to new friends”, Warren Amoh-Agyare (Class of 2020).
• “I always wanted to study outside Kenya and was applying to schools in USA. But then, Ashesi came to the organization I was working with and they pitched their idea. I liked the whole liberal arts thing. When I got admitted with a scholarship, I forgot about everything else about the USA”, Faith Mueni (class of 2019).

Favorite Place on Campus

• “I like hanging around at the health center area because it is peaceful”, Belinda Wilson Nelson (class of 2019).
