How's College?

As promised...This post is all about my first days at a new college, Sunway University College.

To sum it up in one word, all i can say is that it's GREAT!

There have been many obvious improvements from the previous college I was at....notably the quality of education.

What I find satisfying about the present college compared to the previous.
1. The lecturers here are much more prepared for their classes and very qualified.

2. Knowledgeable lecturers in almost all the subjects.

3. A lot of critical thinking questions being asked during class that is in-line with current world issues.

4. Excellent command of English by 5 of the 6 lecturers in my course, the one that don't speak so fluently only makes little grammar mistakes here and there...still acceptable.

5. All subjects are nicely spread out throughout the 5 weekdays, max of 2 hours per subject per day.

6. Food and entertainment are much better compared to Cyberjaya......Sunway mah!
Actually everything is here, don't believe? I made a checklist
Shopping mall(checked)...Pyramid in the middle of expansion...opening end of the year.
Theme Park
(checked)
Xtreme Park(checked)
Hotels(checked)...although i don't think i'll be staying there for any reason...U...don't think dirty!
Hospital
(checked)...Choi!
Car workshops(Overchecked)...got so many!
I am trying to think what is lacking but I can't...


7. Got movies to watch in Library somemore...some of the latest movies, not only those that came from the 20th century.


8. My brother's house is nearby only, so can go there and nap or do some work peacefully there if necessary.


9. Much nearer to my house, 20mins drive if i take 2 tolls to skip the morning jam.


10. A group of friends that keep me company. They are Michael from Perak, Armuz from Sumatra, Chun Yeong from Penang, Sally from KL, and the group is growing I hope.


The only 3 things I am not so happy/ecstatic about is...
1. No Parking every morning! I guess that happens in alot of the other colleges as well so it's ok!
2. No rest days, my previous college always had 1 day off in 5weekdays every semester.
3. Alot of Assignments and tutorials and homeworks and readings...That's for my own good also la...so can't complain much!

So yeah, that's my view on my new college for those of you who wanna know...
But of course can't draw up conclusion until this time next year,
Remember what I wrote about my previous college?
Read it if u wanna know...it's in the May archives under the title 1 More Month.
Till the next post, which will come soon if I have time in my hands,
Wish Me Luck!
