HELB for University students

HELB,a word well known by almost every university student.A loan to help students through their education period.What are the priorities you give as student after receiving the loan?Its you choice.Maybe new phone,pants,parties,rent,transport or any other.Its all the decision of the loaner.The loans status is relative as little money or appropriate is the loaner's opinion.I have never heard anyone say that its much in campus.How is the helb loan?little,appropriate?

 Egerton University had a talk on the ways one can utilize their loan for a better education period and better upkeep.Students were urged to use the money well in their education and upkeep and not by buying beer or on drugs,women etc.As this was being told,the students burst into laughter,MEANING?I don't know.huh is it funny telling a student about alcohol?Tell me

NOTE:In all what you do remember there is a consequence.




Don't use you money hivi hivi.Kaa rada msee.
