Taylor's University Facilities

Watch video here:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150622803729425

When I saw this on my Fb Feed, I just had to show it to all of you! I had the though before on running around campus and taking pictures of the labs or moot court or even the studio, I just never got to it because  when there are no classes occupying the rooms, it's always locked! So I can't do anything. 

Thank God for this! At least, someone had a smart idea to provide a better view of the facilities in Taylor's Lakeside through a video because most of the video's of Taylor's that I see are just an over view of the University like the picture above. 

In the video, you will catch a better view of: 

Service Facilities:

- Student Central
- Enrollment & Admission Centre / Waiting or Counseling Room
- ICT Helpdesk
- Counseling and Psychological Services Centre
- Surau
- Library Services
- Centre for Research & Development
- Sports & Recreation Centre
- Sick Bay

- Hostel
- Enterprise Corridor
- The Grand Hall

- The Gallery & Critique Room
- Design Studios
- Drawing Room/Printmaking Room

- Moot Court

Taylor's provides the best facilities for their students. Well, is not exactly free because it's included in your semester fee but you can use it as long as the place is open. So make full use of it if you are planning to join Taylor's! :D

I always updates on talks by him. Obviously, I don't attend them because I'm an undergraduate student. Though, these talks will definitely be useful for those either planning to take up PostGraduate programmes or already involved one.

During the Coming Open Day on 23-25 March 2012, he will be giving a talk on whether you think postgraduate studies is for you. His talk specifically held on

24 March 2012 (Sat), 

2-3pm 

at Lecture Theatre 8. 

FREE

So even if you don't want to get any counselling or don't want to know what Taylor's have to offer for PostGraduate as your intention is purely just to sit and listen to his talk, you are more than just welcome. Please don't be shy to hoop in for the talk, is not obligated to go for counselling first. Then who knows, after the talk, walk around the campus if you haven't seen Taylor's Lakeside.

In June, he is giving another talk on Research Studies Proposal Writing Workshop. 

23 June 2012 (Sat)

9.30am-12pm

APSSA Student Leadership Conference 2012

I saw this recently in my student portal and it caught my attention because I saw the 'Fully Sponsored trip to Manila, Philippines'. Lols, don't judge, I'm sure you would take it to if you were given sponsored trip.

 

So I took some time to go through it and check out the requirements or what this is all about. If you can't read the print screen above, it talks about Taylor's University is looking for 4 deserving students leaders to represent the Uni in a conference call APSSA Student Leadership Conference 2012. *APSSA = Asia Pacific Student Services Association. 

The conference will be held in De La Salle University, Manila, Philippines in July and the theme if Global Citizenship: Challenges, opportunities and responses. Of course, other than just seeing the free flight to Manila, right minded person will also go google on the Venue just to check out how the Uni looks like. So this is what I found:

 

I was totally won over by this image! Looks so British! I straight tried my luck and download the form. 

It will be a good opportunity as if I am selected, I will be representing student leader ambassador of TU, meet people from various other countries, build network by increasing my cross cultural competency, understanding global citizenship and enhance my employability!

I was thinking since this is my last semester, why not?! If I don't get it then so be it. So I filled my form carefully:

If you read my short description as requested, I was going for "I know I'm confident but I don't want to overdo it and make people feel I'm so full of myself" kind of statements. HAHAHA! I guess is just a play of words, you should kind of write something that what you think they want to hear from you in order to increase your chances. Though, I have a feeling I might not get it just because I am a final semester student, they probably think how can I benefit or serve the Uni after this conference, so no point sending me. :P (is just my point of view) 

Basically my point here is that why not go out of your comfort zone? In some ways, the reason why I participate in this was also because I felt that all these years as a Taylor's student, I'm always based in Malaysia or more specific, Klang Valley. Never once I go overseas or even outstation for a conference or workshop like this. I felt that because I didn't get myself a chance to expand myself that could help in expanding my social network and open up my eyes more about other countries and cultures. 

I just want to say GET OUT & EXPLORE when you have the chance.
