When moving to study at City University Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur, choosing accommodation is one of the most important decisions that will affect your university experience. As an international student, I needed a suitable environment that would allow me to focus on my studies while also providing comfort and safety. In this article, I will share my experience with accommodation in the city and how it helped make my university life smoother.

Available Accommodation Options

City University Malaysia offers students several accommodation options, varying by budget and location.

1. On-Campus Accommodation
2. Advantages of On-Campus Housing: On-campus accommodation is the best option for students who want to stay close to the university, saving time and effort on commuting. There are many fully-equipped rooms available, including both single and shared rooms. The accommodation is equipped with everything a student needs, such as high-speed internet, daily services (maintenance and cleaning), and shared facilities like gyms and recreational areas.
3. Location of Accommodation: On-campus housing makes it easy to access lecture halls and academic facilities within the university. It also allows you to easily connect with other students living in the same accommodation.
4. Off-Campus Accommodation
5. Apartments and Residential Complexes: If you prefer more independence, you can opt for accommodation in apartments or residential complexes near the university. Many apartments offer a variety of sizes and amenities. These apartments are often located near public transport stations, making it easy to reach the university and other places.
6. Social Experience: Living off-campus gives you the opportunity to interact with local residents and students from other universities. This is a rich experience as it expands your circle of acquaintances.

Facilities and Services

1. Safety One of the most important things I was looking for when choosing accommodation was safety. All the accommodation options at City University Malaysia have advanced security systems, such as surveillance cameras and security guards, ensuring a safe environment for students.
2. Internet All rooms in on-campus accommodation are equipped with high-speed internet. Even in off-campus apartments, most offer Wi-Fi, making it easy for you to work on your academic projects.
3. Daily Services On-campus housing provides regular cleaning and maintenance services, so students don't have to worry about daily tasks like cleaning their rooms or repairing appliances.
4. Shared Facilities On-campus accommodation offers shared facilities like gyms, study rooms, and relaxation areas. These amenities give students a chance to relax after a long day of studying or to meet up with friends.

Social Experience at Accommodation

Living at City University Malaysia is not just about having a place to sleep; it’s also an important part of the social experience. I had the opportunity to interact with students from various cultures and nationalities, which helped me expand my network and learn about different cultures. There were regular social events in the accommodation, such as welcome gatherings and festive celebrations, which helped me build new friendships.

A Student's Advice

If you're a new student at City University Malaysia, I recommend choosing accommodation that suits your needs. If you’re looking for comfort and proximity to the university, on-campus accommodation is the best option. However, if you prefer more independence, you can search for an apartment off-campus. In any case, make sure that the accommodation is close to public transport to save time and effort.

I also advise you to book accommodation early, especially at the start of the semester, as places may be limited.
