THE STANDARD By Peter Theuri | February 18th 2021 at 07:35:00 GMT +0300 Qwetu student hostels on Ring Road, Nairobi. [Jonah Onyango, Standard] Many on-campus living quarters for students are not known for comfort; they are spartan at best. But this perspective is changing, with developers pulling all stops to make the experience for university and college students as comfortable as possible. One such firm is Acorn Holdings Africa, the developer behind Qwetu purpose-built student accommodation facilities that promises to give residents “a home away from home.” According to Acorn, the idea was informed by the need to address students’ changing needs and rising demand for premium student accommodation facilities.
