FIRST WEEK EXPERIENCE IN UKM

 Let me introduce for you my first week at UKM.

    At the start of my first week in UKM, it was full of apprehension and depression but there were also some great times and excitement. I felt anxiety and stress when I realized that I need to separate from my family members and study at UKM which is quite far apart from my home. Most of the time, I missed my family members, especially my parents. I knew this is normal for everyone and there are a lot of people have the same feeling.

    After I took my time to explore university life, I found that it is not horrible as I thought before. During my freshers’ week, I met a diversity of people in UKM, they come from different states, backgrounds, and ethnicities as well as countries. It was a priceless experience for me. I also grab the opportunity to meet some new friends here. Also, I had a meal and chit chatting with my friends at the café in our hostel. I appreciate the time with them.

    After that, I was also always surprised by the facilities that are provided at UKM such as the library called Perpustakaan Tun Sri Lanang (PTSL), a huge hall named Dewan Canselor Tun Abdul Razak (DECTAR), and Health Center UKM, Pusat Kesihatan UKM (PKUKM) as well as the faculty building that well-equipped with the facilities. Not only that, the shutter bus that provided for all students to reach everywhere in UKM without paying a ringgit is absolutely convenience. But, sometimes it was annoying when the bus is crowded by people.

    In conclusion, freshers’ week is not necessarily going to be the time of your life, but remember that good things are to come.
