Moving Day! + Self-campus tour

Dear friend,
So it's officially I'm a college a girl (although I haven't start my orientation yet) but I already moved to my flat yippiekeyayay!

Self-campus tour 29th August 2014 )
Visiting my (very very) new campus at Putrajaya. Well let me tell you one thing, that my uni is a perfect place to study because it is placed in government area and yet, there's only a few people in it. But it's okay though. Okay before I give you all photos, let me introduce you my university (yeay).
Okay so right now I’m going to talk about my future university, the place where I will be studying for the next three years for bachelor. I’m taking Petroleum Engineering at Heriot-Watt University Malaysia Campus. My university is actually based on UK.
(Edinburgh Campus, UK – The main campus)
(Dubai Campus)
“Heriot-Watt University’s name commemorates two men ahead of their time. George Heriot, the 16th century educational philanthropist and financier to King James and James Watt the great 18th century engineer and inventor of the steam engine. There were two successful, leading edge professionals of their time, whose skills and attitudes are embedded in the ethos of the University today. Heriot-Watt University Malaysia will provide a modern dynamic learning environment as a branch campus of Heriot-Watt University. Headquartered in the city of Edinburgh in the UK, Heriot-Watt is an institution with a very strong heritage established in 1821, Heriot-Watt is rooted in the UK.
Heriot-Watt is divided into seven schools and one institute that coordinate its teaching and research:
  • The School of the Built Environment, incorporating architectural engineering, civil engineering, structural engineering, construction management, surveying and urban studies;[29]
  • The School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, incorporating chemical engineering, chemistry, electrical, electronic and computing engineering, mechanical engineering and physics;[30]
  • The School of Management and Languages, incorporating accountancy and finance, business management, economics and languages;[32]
  • The School of Textiles and Design;[34]
Heriot-Watt is known for the strong prospects of its students, with 80% in graduate-level jobs six months after leaving the institution.[41] . It came 1st in Scotland and 4th in the UK in the 2012 National Student Survey,[41] and saw the largest increase in UK applicants of any UK university for the 2013 academic session.[42]  . In 2011, Heriot-Watt was named as the Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2011-2012, with the paper emphasising the employability of the institution's graduates.[41] In 2012, it was again Scottish University of the Year 2012-2013 for the second year running, and also became UK University of the Year for student experience.[43] . In 2014, it was ranked 13th in the UK and 2nd in Scotland by the Guardian University League Table,[44] and 4th in Scotland by the Complete University Guide.[45]

And here I give you my journey (short self-campus tour well actually I was with my family so I didn't actually come alone lol) from Kuala Lumpur I took KL Transit and it cost RM 9.50 from KL Sentral to Putrajaya Sentral. And actually it is the fastest way to go to the Putrajaya. After that we took L04 bus to the university. Fyi, the street is so quiet I mean there's not a lot of people in there so yeah you rarely find people too. 


Will post more about my orientation day and my college flat tour! See ya xoxo
