So I spent like approximately four months here, (December, January, February, March and 8 days in April. The whole 8 days in April was final exam though.). First impression was mixed. There are pros and cons. Well, same goes to anywhere else too.

I spent only in my second semester here since I spent the first semester in UiTM Puncak Alam (Palam). I guess I can skip my story in Palam since the main point here is UiTM Dengkil right? Hehe. So since we called ourselves the kid of Asasi Palam in Puncak Alam, in here, we called ourselves the kid of AsiD. (Asasi Dengkil)

My batch was the first batch here so in the first few months, there were a lot of lackings here. The upstairs side of Anjung Dengkil was empty. No shops were opened yet that time. (Fyi, Anjung Dengkil is the centre of food and main supplies of our livings in here. HAHAHA.) There are two marts where you can get snacks and drinks, or any household(?) supplies, like pails, detergent, shower cream, toothpaste, etc. There are also stationary and printing shops where you can get your studying stuffs (pencils, pens, erasers?) and print or photocopy stuffs (like lecture notes).

By the way, printing lecture notes is optional. The lecturer won't scold you if you attend the class without the notes. But it's your own disadvantages that you can't note down important notes told by the lecturer in the class. I mean, you can still jot them down in a blank foolscap or A4 paper or your notebook but you'd have to note down everything or you will forget what is it about right? (Like what subtopic it is in or the chapter). And printing lecture notes may come in handy when you have to study for quizzes, tests or exam. You can get them in iLearn. (You'll know about it later.) And don't worry, usually you guys will appoint someone to be the class representative to help to print the notes for the whole class for every subject.

Upstairs, there is also a bakery shop where you can get yummy breads, donuts, cakes or anything bakery. Beside the bakery, there's a Koolblog where you can get ice blended or just, iced drinks. (There's waffle sold there too.) It's not bad. At least it can satisfy your cravings on ice blended. The price is standard.

If you plan to save money, don't go to the mart. The satans will be all around you asking you to buy everything. I usually spent up to RM7 - RM10 there it's insane. Ok kidding about the "don't go to the mart" part.

NEXT, let's talk about the classes. I'm not sure about TESL, Law or Engineering kids since I am a Science kid. There are three buildings. The nearest to the girls' dormitory blocks is Dinamik. Next, Etika which connects Dinamik and the last building, Progresif. Progresif is the nearest to the boys' dormitory. All the three buildings are connected with a bridge at the second level. Dinamik is also connected to the Bangunan Pentadbiran at the second level where the lecturers rooms are located. All business regarding foundation studies also located there.

For Science students, you'll use all the three buildings. Laboratories will be in Etika. However, as I asked my friend from Law course, they only used one building (I forgot which one). Things may change when it's your time to be here or not.

From Dahlia (the girls dormitory), it may take up to 5-10 minutes to reach your classes if you speedwalk. (Seriously, don't walk like the tortoise. Increase the speed of your walk to increase your IQ.) If I have any classes at 8:30AM, I'd leave my room at 8:15. Attend the class early! It's the manner. It's not nice to walk in when the lecturer is already in the class isn't it?

Ask the boys if it's from Tualang (the boys dormitory). I'm not sure how many minutes would it take since Tualang since as what I saw, Tualang is kinda far away from the buildings.

Next, the dormitories! The arrangement is bad, I should've told about the dormitories as first of all right?

The girls dormitories are called Dahlia. There are three Dahlia buildings. Dahlia 1 is the furthest back there, the Science and Engineering kid stay there (if I'm not mistaken). HELP I actually don't know where did the Engineering girls stay. Dahlia 2 is in the middle in between Dahlia 1 and Dahlia 3. Dahlia 2 is filled with Law, Tesl and some of Science students. The last one which got to view the Bangunan Pentadbiran and Pusat Islam from the room is Dahlia 3. I was lucky to get to stay at the most end of the building, the nearest to Bangunan Pentadbiran. At night, I got to see the building and the view of a part of Anjung Dengkil through my window. (Not to forget, the Pusat Kesihatan too). Fyi, Dahlia 2 is the largest building out of the three Dahlia buildings. It's really long. Almost (or actually) two times longer than Dahlia 3.

ALERT! Girls can't step in to the boys dormitory buildings area and vice versa or the Polis Bantuan will come after you. The rules are pretty strict just like those asrama in boarding school. The life in Palam wasn't like this though. There was much more freedom on this case. But guess what, it's good that they make it this way.

Sorry boys that I can't tell more about Tualang, I know nothing.

NEXT, let's see Pusat Islam. This is the main surau of the campus. I can't tell much since I didn't really go there. Wow. I've only been there twice. Bad me. Don't follow my footsteps. As I can see, many boys went there for maghrib and isya'. Alhamdulillah. Boys, please rajin rajinkan diri kesana ya. Yes there's solat jemaah and sometimes even ceramah (or is it every night?). My bad. We just call it PI sometimes.

View of Pusat Islam from...Bangunan Pentadbiran I guess?

NEXT, PTAR! Fyi, PTAR stands for Perpustakaan Tun Abdul Razak. It's universal. Lol. All UiTM got the PTAR. PTAR is the library. During my time here, there wasn't really any books. Most shelves are empty. But at the lowest ground, there are some reference books for you to study. There's also a room where there's many computers you can use to access the internet. Just in case if you can't connect to the wifi anywhere else. I'm not sure if they will add a lot of books later. Sorry I can't provide any photos of the PTAR. I can't really find any decent photo of it. By the way, PTAR is connected to Progresif building and there's a Bilik Study 24 Jam where you can have group discussion there or do your group assignment or study there. (Seriously, you can't even study there it's really noisy! Unless if you can cope with the noise and concentrate with your studies.) But yea the noise won't be a problem for you guys to have group discussions. It's opened until the night. PTAR is closed until 4:15PM only if I'm not mistaken. Ah how I wish they'd close it somewhere later than that. And it's opened from Monday to Saturday. Means you can't go there on Sunday!

NEXT, the Pusat Kesihatan. This is where you will go if you're sick. If you need MC, then come here and get it. We just simply call it PK sometimes. I haven't really met the doctors since I never got sick there. Wow at me. But I did come in there once, accompanying my friend.

Pusat Kesihatan

Enough with exploring the campus. Wanna know any hints on how is the life as a UiTM foundation student? I don't think there's much difference with the foundation kids from other university but let me tell you what I've gone through.

However, this thread is long enough. Let's move to other thread. Click HERE!

P.s: Thanks for dropping by! Feel free to leave comments if you have any questions. I'll  be happy to answer.
