Balancing Studies and Side Hustles as a Student in Kenya

Life as a student isn’t cheap—transport, meals, and learning materials all add up. Many Kenyan students are turning to side hustles to support themselves while studying. But how do you balance both without burning out?

Practical Tips for Students:

• Choose Flexible Side Hustles: Online work, food delivery, baking, or social media gigs can fit into your schedule.
• Manage Time Wisely: Use a timetable to set aside study hours and work hours.
• Don’t Let Work Overtake School: Remember, your education is the foundation.
• Leverage What You Learn: Apply business, ICT, or hospitality skills gained at FIBS directly into your side hustle.

👉 At FIBS College, we encourage students to explore income-generating activities responsibly while keeping academics a priority.
