The following are comments from some of our past international students:
Far away from home I met wonderful people, tasted interesting food and experienced physics from a different point of view.
On the cultural and social level these two semesters in JKUAT have taught me a lot. To find new friends in Kenya is not difficult since people are very open minded.
In Physics my most important experience has been a research project on new solar energy concepts. Which place can be better for that than in Kenya?”
Bjorn Witt on Exchange from Germany, Albert-Ludwig University Freiburg, B.Sc. Physics Fourth Year
Kauma M. Chinamale from Malawi, M.Sc. Horticulture Second Year
“I appreciate the care given by lecturers and students. Masters and doctoral students are well trained. I would like to have more field work and travel in diverse parts of Kenya.”
Rurangwa Edward from Rwanda, M.Sc. Horticulture Second Year
“I learnt about JKUAT as a center of excellence…from a colleague while studying in Makerere University. I enrolled and graduated with a degree in M.Sc. Horticulture, JKUAT. 
I am now pursuing a doctor of science in horticulture. The University is well equipped and staff highly qualified. The University fraternity is easy to get along with.”
Wanyama David from Uganda, Ph.D Horticulture
