University Tenaga Nasional

University Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) is a local private university I manage to visit and explore recently. It is located at Ikram Road, Bangi. The university vision is to generate professionals.

Within the university compound is a large lake with Residence Hotel and the university mosque located just beside it.

A floating restaurant also located at the lake.

Food court is available within the university area. I reckon this is the place the student dine as cooking is not allowed in the students' apartment.

Some basic grocery shops, post office, clinic and bank situated adjacent to the food court.

TNB Resarch Centre. It looks like a warehouse from the outside but it surely is a huge facility.

The staffs' quarters which look way better compare to the students' quarters.

The university campus seems to be divided to west and east campus. It is decently huge and university buses goes around the campus to ferry students to their intended destination. It took me more than 1 hour to explore the whole campus on foot.

College of Information Technology

The university has its own equestrian club and I spotted a few monkeys on the way too.

Track and field stadium

Engineering department building and labs. The university offers civil, mechanical and electrical engineering courses.

The university administrative building.

A cascading waterfall structure behind the administrative building.

This eye catching structure is the home to the university library, auditorium and examination hall.

It has the largest exam hall I ever come across. It even extended to this sky bridge.

Students' Apartment @ UNITEN

Recently I manage to stay in a students' apartment in one of the local university, UNITEN. This is my first time staying overnight at a local university.

I was placed in Ilmu apartment. It has the nearest walking distance (15 minutes) to the library building of this university. During the semester break, the university will rent out the apartments to government agencies and private sectors who plan to have functions and using the university's facilities.

The rent is about RM50 per head and each apartment can accommodate up to 5 person.

I was initially impressed when I stepped into the apartment. It is pretty spacious with a living room and study tables for the students who occupied this apartment. However, the apartment suffer from poor ventilation even with all windows wide open and fans on to full blast. It is just bloody hot inside here.

I wonder how on earth the students able to study inside here with such an uncomfortable environment. It was so hot that I slept in the living room during my 4 days stay here.

Each apartment has 4 rooms and there are just enough space for the occupant to keep their belongings. It feels like inside an oven when staying in each of these rooms.

At the rear of the apartment is a designated area for the occupants to dry their clothes.

I will probably won't not want to stay here again in the future. I would rather stay at the nearby Residence Hotel which also happen to be within the compound of this university.
