My experience with transportation at UNIKL in Malaysia

When I decided to study at UNIKL University in Malaysia, one of the things that concerned me was how to commute to and from the university smoothly. After trying several modes of transportation, I gained good experience navigating around the city, and I’d like to share my experience with you.

Location and Accessibility
UNIKL University is located in strategic areas close to city centers and vital areas, making it easy to access through public transportation. Whether you live in campus housing or off-campus, there are multiple and convenient transport options available.

Public Transportation
Malaysia has an efficient public transportation network, and I benefited greatly from using:

  • Trains (LRT and MRT): These are some of the fastest ways to get to the university. The nearest station was just a few minutes' walk away.
  • Public Buses: Available at regular intervals, covering most areas around the university. It was a convenient and economical option.
  • Grab Service (similar to Uber): On days when I was in a rush, I used Grab. The fare was affordable, especially when sharing the ride with fellow students.

Private Transportation and Student Passes
Some students prefer renting a motorcycle or car, especially if they live far from campus. There were many rental options available at reasonable prices for students.
The Malaysian government also offers student cards with special discounts on public transportation, and I took advantage of this to reduce my commuting costs.

Life Around the Campus
Thanks to the location of UNIKL University near essential facilities, I was able to easily access restaurants, cafes, and shopping centers. Most of these places were within walking distance, so I enjoyed walking or occasionally riding a bicycle.

Challenges and How to Overcome Them
One of the challenges I faced initially was the crowding on public transportation during peak hours. However, I quickly learned to organize my schedule to avoid these times. I also made sure to download public transportation apps like Google Maps and Moovit to track schedules accurately.

My Advice for New Students

  • Use trains during peak hours: To avoid crowds and save time on your commute.
  • Take advantage of student passes: For discounts on public transportation.
  • Get familiar with available transport options: Like Grab or even carpooling with dormmates.
  • Be flexible with your schedule: To avoid peak hours and overcrowding.
