“Starting university at Curtin Malaysia, I was nervous about making friends and finding my place. But a few friendships formed during Orientation Week quickly changed that. I soon discovered a welcoming community where I felt I belonged.

Wanting to give back and make campus life more enjoyable for others, I joined Curtin Malaysia Student First Place Activation (SFPA) through a recommendation from friends.

My first programme, Popcorn Dash X SPACE Cinema, organised with the School of Pre-U and Continuing Education (SPACE), was an unforgettable experience. I also volunteered at Suicide Prevention Day H.O.P.E., organised by Health, Counselling & Disability Services. Both experiences pushed me beyond my comfort zone, strengthened my confidence and taught me the value of patience, resilience and community involvement.

Looking back on my first semester, I realise that university is about more than academics. It is about building connections, embracing opportunities and growing through new experiences. I arrived feeling nervous, but I’m ending my first semester with lasting friendships, cherished memories and newfound confidence. And this is just the beginning!”— Muhammad Inas Imtiyaaz bin Mazran, Foundation in Engineering and Science student
