The entire process of choosing colleges in Kenya can be a
tiresome and hard, especially if the person in question does not have the Idea
of what to look out for or how to go about the whole process.
The process is not just about choosing the right college,
but it is about settling on the best college that can take your son or
daughter to the next level of life.
It's therefore important that one gets a college that is
keen on growing students and ensuring that they can be able to stand on their
own once they are through with their studies.
Let's look at some of the things one needs to avoid when looking for a good college to enroll in.

Things to know when choosing colleges in Kenya
Rushing the process
People need to understand that finding the right college
takes time and that it is not something or a decision one can take in a day.
This is because one needs to do a research on the type of college he/she wants.
One also needs to send in applications for admission to various universities
and colleges, this is very important since there are thousands and thousands of
other students looking for a chance.
Being a follower
Just because your friend is in a particular college does not
necessarily mean that you also must enroll in that college. This might seem
like a good idea just because you want to be near your friends and the people
you already know, but in the long run nit could turn out to be a bad idea. One
needs to learn to make his/her decisions at any given time without the
influence of his/her peers or friends.
Parents’ advice
Many young people do not take their parent’s advice
concerning where to study that seriously. They think they are old fashioned and
they are not aware of the changing trends. We are not suggesting that you go to
the university or college that parents went to but to consider their advice as
well when selecting the best institution.
The best thing to do is to analyze each and every advice you get from your parents and make an informed decision.
Rebellion
It’s also important to understand that as much as listening
to the advice of your parents and considering some of their advice, one must
also have his/her own mind. By this I don’t say that you should be rebellious, but
one must be able to make vital decisions in his or her life.
You are a die hard fan
This is one of the worst mistake one can make when choosing
a good college. Many tend to imagine that since they are fans of the football or
rugby team of a certain university or college then it’s good to study there. Yes
the university can be very good at sports, but the big question is, is it also
good education wise. Is it the right institution in relation to what you want to
study.
From what I have discussed above, its important that one takes time to choose the best institution especially when choosing from the various colleges in Kenya.
