“When I first came to Curtin Malaysia, I expected university life to be overwhelming, but it wasn’t. It felt like school, just faster, deeper, and more focused on what I love. The biggest surprise? How quickly time flies, especially when deadlines hit and coffee becomes essential.

One of my favourite experiences was competing in the IEEE TMC Competition 2025, where my team and I achieved 2nd Runner-up. It taught me the value of teamwork, resilience, and pushing through challenges like debugging code. Becoming a club president also pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow as a leader.

While some units are tough, I always make time for fun. Because in the end, it’s the memories we create that matter most.”- Bhavisha Anil Gaikwad, Computing (Software Engineering) student
