I have started my second semester in a new place, UiTM Dengkil, Selangor about more or less three weeks ago! Well, everywhere you go, they'll be pros and cons and the same case can be applied to this matter. But everything I listed down here might change in the future so please don't immediately say no to this brand new place, okay?
Lets start with the pros.
What do I like about Dengkil?
1) IOI City Mall Putrajaya
It's just 20 minutes away from UiTM Dengkil and don't worry, there are buses that will take you to IOI for only RM3.00! Back in Lendu, we need to go for half an hour to one hour ride just to reach AEON, which is the nearest shopping complex we can go to. Don't get me wrong, people. I love Lendu as well. There's AEON and Dataran Pahlawan. But in terms of transportation, I might prefer IOI better. If you want to go to IOI via Taxi (metered taxi), it'll cost you around RM25-RM30.
2) Putrajaya Sentral
Near to the bus station. Plus, there's a small bakery selling delicious pie at reasonable price! Yummy.
3) Alamanda Mall
It's been a long time since I've been to Alamanda and honestly, I miss all the memories that I have at there. It's not a glorious mall but it has memories I could never return to, so probably I won't be going there at the moment but it's nearer to UiTM Dengkil compared to IOI.
4) Anjung Dengkil
Back in Lendu, I must say that I was not satisfied at all with the cafe service at my college. There's not a lot of choice of food to pick and the stalls open late at 10:00 a.m. and close early at 9:00 p.m. The prices were kind of unreasonable and not fix. But there's a lot of cafes in Lendu, there's pak lah, western and sunshine cafe which were very nice! In Dengkil, there's only one cafeteria but there's about 14 stalls so there's a lot of choice which meets my expectations and I love it. There's even minimarts on the second level of Anjung Dengkil! Electronic shop, bookstore, barber shop, all up in the second level. How cool is that?!
5) Classes
To go to class from our respective colleges, it is just a walking distance, so near and convenient. There's no 'mountains' and tiring walks. Nope, nothing like that. So near that if you wake up late, that might not be a problem for you to go to class!
Let's move on to the cons:
1) Internet Connection
OH MY GOD, it is so slow, perhaps slower than a snail. The connection here is so bad and honestly I felt so lifeless while I was in UiTM Dengkil. But the moment you go to other places like, let's say, you go to IOI, it's so fast and 'alive'! I don't know what's wrong with the connection in the campus but it sucks so bad that I can't even refresh google homepage. However, right now after they have installed the UiTM- Dengkil wifi, I am a bit satisfied with the speed of the Internet connection. Unfortunately, I couldn't get connected to this Wifi often. Sigh.
2) Lecturers.
Now, now, people. Calm down. It's not that I hate my new lecturers. It's just that since UiTM Dengkil is a new UiTM branch, we are currently short of members. A few of my classes still haven't started yet all because we didn't have enough lecturers to conduct our classes. What freaks me out is the amount of assignments that we'll be doing later on when we finally get our new lecturers. Sigh. What to do. And recently, my favourite lecturer in second semester decides to drop off our class for yet to be explained reason. It really demotivates me since I am always looking forward to his class.
3) No delivery
Now I can't order for KFC, Pizzahut or McD delivery which I think is a huge lost! Cries.
4) Too crowded
Honestly, this might not be a problem to others but for someone like me, it is a big yes. There's too many people; everywhere I go there's always people. I don't have my 'me time', a time where I just want to get away or cut all ties with the human society. I need that to ease my mind and to remind myself who I am and what I am doing here, in this world.
5) Library
I understand that Dengkil is still too new to have a complete and diverse reading materials in their freshly build library but at least, I wish to use the library before the end of my second semester here. Nevertheless, looking at the current state of the library, I bet there'll be close to none reading material by the time I'll leave Dengkil. Sigh.
6) Mass lecture
Honestly, I don't do well with them crowds, being in a social event and being surrounded by a lot of people makes me feel uncomfortable, anxious. So, the idea of mass lecture leaves me no good impression for I fancy being in a quiet and well-organised surrounding. I have several mass lecture each week and I find it hard in terms of understanding what the lecturers were teaching in front and to take down notes is a pain in the ass. Why? With anymous people sitting and chattering behind you, laughing and whispering, gossiping and dissatisfying-ly questioning the topic that the lecturers' were discussing about, that's a nuisance, really. It's not a good experience for me.
7) Water problem
I'm not sure if my theory is true or false but it seems like almost every night, we will have to face water supply problem. Which means, there'll be no water during night time. It's like they profusely cut off the water supply just to reduce the bills.
I think that's all for now. If there's any improvement or more things to add in the list in the future, I will edit this post. So, that's that! See ya, whoever you are in the future. Adios.
