Most of the universities in Kenya especially public universities have been notorious for different kinds of immorality example prostitution and robbery. It is not uncommon to have come across a few cases where university students have been arrested and charged in a court of law due to criminal offences. These might sound weird but believe it or not these students were very humble people with big dreams when they joined the campus but due to the following factors their moral values have completely taken another direction.

1. Extreme freedom. Majority of new students (freshmen) in our universities today join direct from High Schools where freedom is limited. When they become university guys, they get extreme freedom where all the activities are upon their decisions. Nobody comes to force me to wake up at six, or nobody bothers to force me to go to class. This kind of freedom makes them indulge in other businesses which was not their main objective of being in campus. Many of them at this stage start to indulge in drugs and other substance abuse.

2. Different backgrounds. Everybody in campus has a different background in terms of geographical birth place and the financial status of the family. New students in campus tend to admire the lives of their fellow class mates or room mates which is of course lavish. This urge to live such lifestyles, lead many students to go astray of their goals especially girls who turn to prostitution and boys become armed robbers in order to fulfill their side dreams.

3. Bad company. Students who join bad companies always go the wrong direction as the company initiates them to lead a life they consider modern and urban rather than concentrate on whatever brought them to campus.
