REVEALED : List of 30 Little Known Public and Private Universities in Kenya

Umma University

When asked to think of a university, most people can name institutions of higher learning in two groups: the "big name" schools, and the schools located close to them.  A lot of people don't realize that there are over 70 universities in Kenya alone and there are many amazing public and private universities out there that people have rarely heard about. 

Many students aim for admission to old and well established institution, but the supply of open seats often does not meet the demand from applicants. CHUONI KENYA strives to help students find the best public and private universities fit for each applicant. Sometimes that means suggesting schools that a student or family hasn't heard of.  But, just because you haven't heard of it does not mean it's not a great institution – some of them are offering great courses with low cut off points. Students and parents who keep an open mind and explore unique universities may just find a hidden gem that is perfect for providing a much more fulfilling experience for some students.
