“Curtin Malaysia has provided me with such a wonderful and exciting university experience. I was initially nervous when I first arrived during the orientation for my foundation year. However, I managed to meet and make new friends with amazing people and that made all the difference.

“When the pandemic struck, we switched to online classes. The first few months were tough for me, having spent most of my previous schooling life attending physical classes, but despite all that, our lecturers proved that learning and university life could still be continued online and that it could be quite an enjoyable experience. They conducted activities and quizzes after each lecture to ensure we understood the topics, and they were always available for consultation, and willing to lend a helping hand to students who were struggling.

“I felt lucky to have had such excellent lecturers, some of whom I now consider my friends. As my degree life is approaching, I expect to encounter further challenges, but I’m ready to face them. As Henry David Thoreau said, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.” I also look forward to returning to campus and experience campus life to the fullest.” –Kimberly Chong Siew Ing, Computing (Software Engineering) student
