I am delighted to have the opportunity to share my exciting and dynamic experience on studying in Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT) to all my beloved juniors.

The best things about being a student in TAR UMT is having the qualified and caring instructors, freedom to do researches, able to spend leisure time and exercise within this huge university compound, such that I have never felt bored when studying there. Besides, I am so proud and feel thankful to my lecturers and tutors who always assisted and provided me with endless support in helping me to complete my 4 years of Diploma and Bachelor’s Degree life smoothly. It was by no means easy for me to maintain my full scholarship throughout my Bachelor’s Degree life. There were many times that I have encountered obstacles, but with the lecturers and tutors’ encouragement and motivation, I have successfully passed all my examinations with flying colours to graduate on the President’s List. All the struggles have made the results become sweeter, and made my University life more interesting.

Apart from providing an ideal learning environment, conducting helpful seminars and providing knowledgeable guidance from lecturers and tutors, our University also offers a wide range of sports facilities for students to achieve a balanced lifestyle. Amenities such as gymnasium, badminton courts, swimming pool and other varieties of exercise forums are all well equipped for students to release their stress and tension from studying. For this reasons, I would heartily recommend TAR UMT to other students to enjoy and exploit such fantastic amenities and academic surroundings, to throw oneself at every opportunity provided by the UC to develop oneself.

I hope my sharing is able to inspire our beloved students, no one should feel inferior or superior and we are all equal, one must not give oneself the excuse to give up, always give the best shots in your live! I wish all the students every success in your future endeavours.
