Hey guys, let me guide you with some reviews on this university. Has been a student for 4 years, some of the lecturers are pretty good (Thus, deserving another star), in terms of education, it's not too bad. Why is it 2 stars? University system. Total rubbish. Finance and Registrar plays an important roles in the university. Yes, one might say there's good and bad in all the universities, it's all the same, well, I couldn't agree more on the statement, but let me just tell you through my experience in the Finance and Registrar Office (Only this 2 departments causing so much trouble).

Before I entered the university, they treated us VERY greatly (Yes, of course it's business, I know that, but was expecting a moderate treatment rather than extremely bad treatment), but once I registered to the university, on the first day ITSELF, I was disrespected from the staff from the Finance Department. My dad and I went to make payment for my first semester, and of course, receipt must be checked before signature to be signed in the paper, yet the staff was saying things like "Why need to check, no need check one lah, your son want study then good enough". What the heck was that? Very professional from the Finance department. 4 years have passed, not much improvement or difference unfortunately.

Now, it's about Registrar office. There's some good, some bad, some RUDE. I fully understand sometime the staff do get little frustrated as there are only 1-2 people working at that time. But, heck, why the hell the management team only placing 1-2 people working when there are SO MANY students that needs to be served. I still see some just sitting and chatting in the office inside. Shameful, really. Kudos to those kind hearted staff that, though having a tough time yet still give a full commitment on serving the student (It's hard to find those staff, you're lucky, you get it, percentage to get remains at 13.36667%), meanwhile those RUDE staffs are unbearable, they speak loudly, intervene your explanation and refuse to hear any explanation to be made from the student. (Remember, the students are clients for God sake!) It's not first time I encountered. I face it many times, terrible.

I see you've made this far. Thanks for reading this far. To summarise this post, I'd say the lecturers and the teaching are not too bad (There's some good, some bad, as usual) and certain facilities worked pretty well, but unlike other universities, the lab of this university is EXTREMELY lacking. The only main concern about this university is the FINANCE and REGISTRAR Office, it's the hell of the university. You'll definitely have to deal with them a lot, good luck for that. If you can, I would advise to go to INTI, or some similar institution. Think twice before joining this university. I didn't mention you MUST NOT join, rather just giving my opinions. Best of luck for the choices you make.
