On-Campus vs. Off-Campus Student Accommodation
Guide Instructions
- 1. On-Campus Housing: Highly secure, fully furnished, includes shared lounges and AC. Sunway and Taylor's halls connect directly to classrooms.
- 2. Off-Campus Condos: Shared apartments outside campus borders. Offer access to swimming pools, gyms, and more flexible cooking options.
- 3. Twin vs. Single Room: Twin-sharing is highly cost-effective (starting from 450 MYR), while single rooms provide privacy (starting from 900 MYR).
Expert Advisor Tips
- Book on-campus rooms at least 2 months in advance as they fill up extremely fast.
- Read condo rental contracts carefully to clarify utility and security deposit refund procedures.
