My First Day In IIum Kuantan

My first day in IIUM Kuantan was not really the best day of my life , if I was to be asked about it . Being a direct intake student , I already know that this would be a completely new world for me . So I was quite excited about meeting new people and getting new friends here in Kuantan. However, upon arrival , I was shocked to see that there was no new student to be registered that day , except me and a few friends that I met in Gombak Campus . By the way , I used to study In Gombak Campus last semester and was transferred here this semester. How could that be? What happened was actually there are two types of admission to IIUM :

Types of admission	Explanation
CFS	For students who undergo their foundation studies in IIUM Petaling Jaya
Direct Intake	Local students who did not go to IIUM Petaling Jaya for foundation studies , as well as international students from various countries who want to pursue undergraduate studies in IIUM. Direct intake students make an online application for admission to the university

All direct intake students are required to sit for entrance tests which will determine whether they will be allowed to start their first year in the university or not. Those who pass the entrance test will proceed to their first year session , but for those who did not pass the entrance test will be registered to pre-sessional program. So my first semester in IIUM was spent as a pre-sessional student , and luckily enough I passsed all the subject to be allowed to begin my first year in IIUM Kuantan.

Despite all the confusions and everything that happened during the registration day in Kuantan , it is a relief that I was given a room which has been occupied by three lovely new students , who are now my new friends. Apart of the many things I saw here, there is one that caught my attention when I first entered the campus area:

OCD , IIUM KUANTAN

This is the Office of the Campus Director of IIUM Kuantan. It looks quite similar to the Rectory Building in IIUM Gombak , with the stairs and all.


The rest of the day was spent with my new friends, tidying up the room and talking to each other.
Since it was quite a tiring day for me , I went to bed early , knowing that I am now a part of the big family of IIUM. I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful journey that I will never forget.
