University of Dar Es Salaam

Casual Conversation

Kenyan 29M. I visited Dar Es Salaam last year for the first time and I loved it. Pound for pound better than Mombasa. I even visited the University of Dar and I was shocked by how beautiful that place is. I'm at a point where I'm considering enrolling there just for the experience alone. I ran a small business so whatever I pursue will only be for enjoyment.

Now comes my questions.

  • Checking reddit, Tanzanians have a negative attitude towards University education in Tanzania. I know most of it comes from Unemployment but I'm curious to hear other viewpoints?
  • Would like to know if there are issues with school strikes as its often the case in Kenyan universities?
  • Also how is the vibe like at University of Dar Es Salaam for both locals and international students.
  • Lastly is housing, living in a hostel is not in my consideration so I'd like advice on this.
