Let’s Settle In – Campus Life at a Glance

At Sunway College we take the health and safety of our students seriously. In view of the current situation, Sunway College will conduct orientation for new students virtually or hybrid until the campus resumes normal operations. We also recognise that providing you with an overview of the college facilities and amenities is necessary in order to help you settle into your new campus.

We have prepared a virtual campus tour for you. While you may not get to experience the sights and sounds of campus physically for now, you will still certainly be able have an overview of it. Please take your time to explore our facilities as well as the lifestyle and activities on our campus!

Campus Life at a Glance

Occupying 22 acres of prime land in Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya, the campus is fully equipped with academic, hostel and sports facilities and is amongst the largest and most modern private institutions in Malaysia.

Our campus comes complete with wireless access coverage (Wi-Fi) available 24-hours per day which covers classrooms, lecture halls, cafeteria, library, concourse and open areas that are conducive for student discussions, communications, eLearning and working on course assignments.

International Students

First Steps: Sunway & Malaysia

Overview:

Students who are studying abroad in a new country for the very first time may have plenty of worries and concerns about how to adapt and even how to make new friends. This is exacerbated for those who are still unable to physically be on campus due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. The First Steps: Sunway & Malaysia programme will provide students with information on basic needs, language, culture and a platform to meet local seniors to assist with their preparation and transitioning into Sunway and Malaysia.

Sunway Cultural Exchange has conducted the programme with Sunway University students for 4 intakes since August 2020 and received positive responses from participants. With that, we would now like to include Sunway College students to be part of the programme as well.

Objectives:

1. To introduce the culture of Sunway and Malaysia before students depart from their home countries and arrive in Malaysia
2. To provide guidance and information to ease new international students’ cultural transition to a new country
3. To build friendships between peers, which ultimately provides familiarity and assurance for international students in a foreign country

Target Audience:

International students coming into Sunway and Malaysia for the first time
 

Basic Details:

Date: 10th - 14th January 2022
Time: 3pm - 5:30pm
Platform: Zoom and WhatsApp

Testimonial:

“When first applying to Sunway I was very nervous, not knowing what to expect, but the first session with the crew completely took that feeling away. They made me feel as though we were already good friends. Including us in the discussion and playing a series of games really helped loosen us up. They also provided a very good range of information that was not only focused on academia but also Malaysian culture, its people and its cuisines. As an international student I'd like to have a sense of security as well as a constant feeling of being welcomed and accepted, and each and every one of the buddies gave me that feeling. The nervousness has definitely subsided and all that’s left is excitement!” – Emily Islam

“To even have this sort of an event is a victory for us international students. Coming to campus can make you feel lonely for the first few months, but with a support system like this already in place, I think a lot of us will be able to call Sunway home sooner than if we weren't part of this event”. – Zafra Usman Anfas, Sri Lanka
