Accommodation: Cendikiawan Apartment

Cendikiawan Apartment

Cendikiawan Apartment is one out of four students' apartments which is located in Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Putrajaya Campus. It is an all male apartment which consist of two eight-story buildings. Inside each house, there are four single bedrooms, two wash rooms and a spacious living hall.

Hallway inside Cendikiawan Apartment

Cendikiawan Apartment, also known as Cendi by many, is a comfortable place for students to live at. It has a very nice environment. It has facilities that satisfy students' needs such as laundry, water dispenser and also a 24-hour convenience store. There is also a huge parking space available for the students' vehicles.

Should students encounter any problems, they can always visit Cendi's Accommodation Office to make reports or complains. The officers are very friendly and helpful. However, they are only available during office hours.

Among the four students' apartments that are available in UNITEN, I would say Cendi has the most strategic location. Why? Cendi is located in between College of Information & Technology (COIT) and Dewan Seri Saujana (DSS). Students living in Cendi who have classes in COIT can just walk to COIT without having troubles to wait for shuttle bus. Cendi is just less than 5 minutes walking distance to COIT. The path that connects Cendi with COIT is covered by greenery so students need not to worry about the hot weather in Malaysia as there are shady trees along the path to COIT.

Besides COIT, Cendi is also near to DSS. It is only few steps away from DSS. At DSS, students can find facilities such as a gymnasium, badminton courts and a cafeteria. Behind DSS, there are tennis courts and a basketball court. While next to DSS, there is a huge swimming pool and a mini stadium.

To sum things up, if I were a male student, I would definitely choose Cendikiawan Apartment as it is located at a very strategic place inside UNITEN campus and has many facilities for my convenience.

Amanah Apartment

Amanah is located quite far from College of Engineering (COE) but much nearer to College of Information Technology (COIT). The location won't be much a problem because UNITEN provide public transportation, shuttle bus in the campus for student's convenience. It is a twin sharing type of accommodation. In one house which is fully furnished, there are two rooms with two single beds and two table study, one bathroom, living room and a kitchen. It also provide parking lots for students who drive their own cars.

Besides that, there are two badminton court so this is a golden chance for those who like to play badminton to maintain their life healthy and harmony. The apartment is fully under secured and surveiliance where outsiders cannot enter the apartment without sticker or pass, this can ensure the safety of people living here without any theft happen.

Accomodation: Kelompok Ilmu

Kelompok ilmu is one of girls apartment in Uniten. It consist of six block. But currently, there are two block fill with boys  ❂.❂

Kelompok Ilmu is totally different from Kelompok Murni. Murni is the single type room while Kelompok Ilmu is the sharing type. Houses in Kelompok Ilmu consist of two rooms and each room consist of two people.

Living room

As for me, I love Kelompok Ilmu more than Kelompok Murni since living alone in a spacious room is not fun. Besides, Ilmu is near to upten. Therefore, students that live here would never starve. (✿◠‿◠)

Kitchen

Kelompok Ilmu located in the middle of coe and coit. College of engineering is just a walking distance from Kelompok Ilmu. 


However, the rent per month is RM200 per person which make one house equivalent too RM800 per month. We had to pay for our own electric too  (╥﹏╥)

The Gymnasium is located in Dewan Sri Sarjana (DSS) building,near to swimming pool,badminton court and so on. The fees per entry for students is RM1.00 whereas for the staffs is RM1.50. It is cheaper if we differenciate with other gym outside there which cost a lot.

The gym is fully air-conditioned where you can get fresh air while workout in the gym. They have many specialized equipment to get a better outcome which precise the muscles.

UNITEN Shuttle Bus Service

Myself in front of UNITEN bus

Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) provides students with a free fare shuttle bus service within UNITEN campus. It operates on weekdays from 7am until 10.30pm. The shuttle bus service provides an easy way for students, staff and even visitors to access the UNITEN campus with no fares charged to any passenger. However, this service will only pick up and drop passenger at appointed places.

UNITEN busses

UNITEN shuttle bus service has two routes which are Route A and Route B that are convenient and carefully planned to satisfy students' needs. 

The stops for Route A are as follow:

ATM Machine -> COE -> Ilmu -> Gate 2 -> DSS -> Amanah -> COIT -> Murni -> Administration -> ATM Machine

The stops for Route B are as follow:
ATM Machine -> Murni -> COIT -> Amanah -> DSS -> Gate 2 -> Ilmu -> COE -> ATM Machine

Passengers getting on a bus

Based on my experience, UNITEN shuttle bus is almost all the time punctual. It provides comfortable journey as all the buses are fully air conditioned. The safety provided by UNITEN shuttle bus service is guaranteed as all the buses undergo full inspections frequently. Besides, the bus drivers are very friendly which makes the communication between bus drivers and passengers easier and more comfortable.

UNITEN bio-diesel bus

Recently, I discovered one of the UNITEN buses which is powered by bio-diesel. This is a good start to UNITEN in order to save energy and even money. This could also increase UNITEN's reputation as one of prestigious university in Malaysia for going green!

Facilities: Swimming Pool

Uniten's swimming pool open everyday except Saturday. Girls turn is on Tuesday evening and night. The rest of the time is boys turn. While Sunday, the swimming pool is open for boys and girls. It is quite unfair that guys get the most time in the schedule  ͼ(ݓ_ݓ)ͽ

The swimming pool will be a bit crowded on Sunday.  Boys definitely love to go swimming on Sunday if you know what I mean ◔◡◔

The swimming pool are open not only to student but also to lecturers, staff and outsiders. The entrance fees for students is only RM1 on evening session and RM2 on night session. Swimmers are required to wear swimming cap. If you did not own one, you can rent it with RM0.50.

The swimming pool located near to Dewan Sri Sarjana (DSS) and Stadium. It also quite close to student's apartment, Cendikiawan. The strategic location makes the swimming pool as the uniten student's favorite place to relax after some stressful day with classes, test and assignment.
