Do not like the exam-based system, some lecturers' teaching style are teacher-centered. There are still excellent lecturers who are able to carry themselves as a credible and knowledgeable individual. They are enthusiastic in teaching and learning as well, love their attitude. Since the establishment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), a lot of clubs and faculties had brought the issue of mental health to light through roadshows and small events. Right now the uni is in a good state in dealing with mental health issues since we also have very active counsellors, in my opinion.

I like the diversity in activities and exposure to research. My lecturers inspire me to explore and wonder more. I dislike if lecturers confront a student wrongdoing publicly. Sport facilities are free especially if under clubs and book beforehand. Insufficient place to study and lack of electric ports to charge devices especially at 10am or 2pm. Need card to access library most of the time

The lecturers are very dependent on slides, have low tolerance or lack of skills dealing with classes of diverse personality and ability, only one-way communication, micromanaging, and overbearing. As for the course, it is comprehensive yet superficial, no backbones or focus. Gym is small and dirty. If they say it's free then slap them with the invoice receipt stated there "facilities fee". There's inadequate space for sporties, like play basket ball, frisbee, volleyballs, martial arts. Library is noisy and small, computers in libraries are limited and some are not functioning. There's only one classroom opened 24/7 with ease of access, no card needed.

The lecturers here are really helpful and they inspire me to achieve my dreams. The courses are well-organised and efficient for my studies. There is a gym for students to work out and the library is quiet and comfortable. However, there is not enough space in the library and it is hard to get a seat especially during exam period. Students don't have to worry about career opportunities as it is compulsory for all student to undergo internship and the teachers will guide us through the whole internship.

In my opinion, I think that some of the lecturer can improve their teaching quality rather than just reading from the slide only. As a student, it is hard for us to understand the subject if the lecturer didn’t give us a clear understanding. But of course, there are also some lecturer who is good in teaching and had help me a lot in my university life. I’m currently a member of the logistic and supply chain club. It is quite a good club as we get the opportunity to go to various factory to learn new things and gain experience on the logistic department. There are also basketball club, volleyball club and aquatic club UCSI. The basketball club is quite famous as there are many good player in our university.

The professors are very knowledgeable in their fields they know what they're talking about, and could explain anything with the highest detail. The fee however, is a little high FOR ME because I am from a backward country (India). But from what I've seen, it's worth every penny - the online resources, the the managing staff and facilities are all accounted for.
