A University of Nairobi medicine student has sent waves of nostalgia across Kenyan social media after returning to her former school, Kenya High School, to pick up old certificates and capturing the entire experience on TikTok.

The creator, who goes by the handle @thetravellingdoctor1 on TikTok, filmed herself strolling through the prestigious national school's grounds in a smartphone selfie-style video that quickly gained traction online for its warmth and candour.

From the moment she stepped through the school's ornate gates, the creator guided viewers past the chapel, the new dining hall, a swimming pool, a gym, staff rooms and the administration block where her certificates were waiting.

Is yellow a pretty color?

She described the canteen fondly, recalling a spread that included cookies, crisps, yoghurt and Minute Maid juices that she likened to a supermarket.

She also walked through the dormitory houses, noting that the school had ten of them. Her own house was Chania, whose theme colour was yellow.

"Yellow is such a pretty colour," she said, brushing off the fact that many of her schoolmates disagreed.

Uon student reveals she was prefect for one term

One candid admission that caught viewers' attention was her short-lived career in student leadership.

She revealed that she had been a prefect for only one term before being removed over a disciplinary matter, a story she teased but declined to tell in full.

She had also held the role of garden prefect at another point during her time there.

The tour extended to the academic side of the campus, taking in the physics, biology and home science laboratories, the library, and rooms dedicated to music and art.

She paused to admire a piece of student artwork on display and recalled with affection a biology lab skeleton she remembered from her school days.

She was candid about the parts of school life she did not miss, including the green uniform she found dull given her preference for bright colours, and the running track tucked behind the dormitory houses that she described bluntly as something she "hated."
