Hi guys, I have a very tight schedule here so I really don't have much time to post much here.
Anyway, I am currently studying in Swinburne University of Technology, Sarawak Campus. The campus is very small, slightly bigger than my secondary school but the location is really strategic.
Opposite Swinburne campus, there's immigration centre. Whatever issues you have about your student visa or passport can be settled there. All you need to do is to exit the gate and cross the road, and there you are.
Beside immigration, there's a police station, and I think it's Kuching headquarters. Thus the security around the campus is considered acceptable, although I have heard of a number of robberies but I guess expecting an absolute absence of crime is not possible.
Beside the police station, there's The Spring Mall, a shopping mall as high class as KLCC. Things inside there are very expensive, but I have to say the shopping mall is very convenient for the students. Need to buy anything? Head there, you can basically buy everything.
Behind the campus, we have KWSP. The office that deals with EPF. Then beside the building, there's a hospital - Borneo Medical Centre. It's just like 5 minutes walk! It's damn convenient! Swinburne's location is just too strategic!
About 10 minutes walk, and crossing a very busy and ridiculously big roundabout, we'll reach King Centre which has a number of food courts that sell street food that is more affordable for students. If you do not mind walking, you may walk for an extra 20 minutes to CityOne Megamall.
About 25 minutes walk from Swinburne campus, you can also reach Kenyalang Park. There's a market in there and certain food and cheap goods can be found.
About 10-15 drive and you'll reach Waterfront, or Kuching Old Town.
Swinburne's campus is just way too convenient. The strategic location is what I like the university best. Haha
There's one downside though, there's no McDonald's around Swinburne. The only fast food I like. The nearest stall requires a 15 minutes drive. Too bad.
Hi Danny! It's good to see that you're starting to get the hang of your new environment since you've left Penang.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, from what I can see, the standard of The Spring Mall is tantamount to that of KLCC so I if you don't mind I'll like to know: Do they sell Gardenia bread at there??
Haha!! Anyway, I wish the best of luck in your academia and I'm looking forward for your next post!
No. They don't sell Gardenia bread here. Haha not even high 5 or Massimo! Thanks for your support! =)
DeleteHi, congratz u gt such wonderful result!
ReplyDeleteI always heard about you from teacher , although never seen you at school.
Mind to share you got any scholarships ? Hopefully can get the result as good as you did
Thanks. You're from Jit Sin too? Mind if I know who are you? Haha
DeleteNo, scholarships for Civil Engineering is extremely limited and I didn't apply lots of them because I do not want to get bonded. But I am awarded the university's academic excellence scholarship.
Good luck to you, for your STPM. =)
