@Ms Mkenya,
It's not Nairobi poly...It,s Kenya Poly.It goes by the same weird name ....Kenya polytechnic university college.....silly name.Why not Kenya institute of technology or Mombasa institute of technology?

Ha ha i kept wondering why Nairobi Poly was sounding wired.. LOL Laughing out loudly . I really hope this doesn't mean i am aging faster than i think i am!

And yes, 'Kenya institute of technology, or 'Mombasa institute of technology' sounds so much better! Lakini jina ya University itaingia wapi? smile

The name university isn't a must.....A good example is the prestigious MIT.....Massachusett Institute of Technology.

Reminds me of KCA University. Only that KCA stands for Kenya College of Accountancy. Now read the whole name out loud!

@Ms Mkenya - Ever heard of MIT -Massachussets Institute of Technology? One of the finest universities in the world! No 'university' anywhere in the name.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

I see nothing wrong with that.when it becomes a fully fledged uni it shall be mombasa poly university,to retain its identity as a technical institute.
Hope is not a strategy

And there is also one of the universities Baba Jimmy attended - London School of Economics [and Political Science].

But I get your point. Marketing to some uninformed Kenyans might be a problem if they don't see the word "University"!
