In addition, there have three branch which is at Residence Hotel & Resort Paka (Terennganu), Residence Hotel at University Tenaga Nasional (Kajang) and  Residence Hotel Desa Lagoon Resort (Port Dickson).

Residence Hotel at University Tenaga Nasional was build inside our university it is because easy for people to rest and stay long at UNITEN. This hotel is the most valuable facilities for student and their parent besides other company stay and having the seminar. Students parent that who living far away from Selangor, they can stay here how long they need.

Students parents that who booking the hotel room at Residence Hotel because UNITEN having the convocation day, registration day for a new student, open day UNITEN and others. My advice, parent must book the hotel room early 2weeks from the day they want to stay. The causes is, Residence Hotel always full booking if UNITEN have any event.

At our university, not only local student parent that who stay in this hotel besides we also have international student. This is one of the most precious facilities for them to make their parent easy to stay closed with them.

Uniten's Gymnasium

My entry for this time is about facilities at Uniten. Uniten have many facilities but I am interested to talk about the gymnasium. Why I am interested to talk about this??Because I like gym so much! =)

The first thing that i want to share is the gym is located in Seri Sarjana Hall. The gym operates 5 days a week starting from Monday until Friday. It opens at 8 am to 10 pm on Monday to Thursday, while on Friday it opens at 8 am to 7 pm.

Time to get into this gym is different for men and women. There are certain times that enable users to both men and women to use the facilities in the gym. Therefore, users will feel more comfortable when they want to use the gym facilities.

The charges are very reasonable.They need to pay RM1.00 for student and RM1.50 for staff for 1 session. I can say that the equipment provided in the gym is complete.

You will get this ticket after pay to get into the gym

Throughout my experience using the gym facilities, I am very satisfied with all the facilities available in the gym. For example, the locker provided in the gym allow you to keep your item. So you do not have to worry about your item. With air conditioning and the most thing that I like is the background music that accompany when we are doing the activity there, we will feel more relax, energetic, and enjoy to do activity with background music played.

This co-curriculum activities is organized by Student Development Implementation Committee, Uniten. The second part is to encourage student involvement in co-curriculum activities which are made to form a student character.

This kind of award is very important for students who will finish their studies and graduated one day. This is because students will find a job on the field they have learned. In this case students will be evaluated based on their qualifications. If we see, in Malaysia how many graduates who excel academically do not  have a jobs. This is due to stiff competition among the students excel academically was so high and that many student do not get any jobs after they graduated. Through this competition, the students should have an advantage or expertise in the area other than academics such as co-curriculum.

With the establishmentof awards in the areas of co-curriculum, it will facilitate the students to compete with other graduates in obtaining employment. This award is very usefull if one day they would like to find a job because this is a bonus to the students in order to convince the company about the co-curriculum feasibility of the student. Every student need to grab this opportunity as much as they can to make sure that they have the characteristics that company want.
