Taylor’s University, Lakeside Campus

My best campus life ever! Never regret being a student there. Well maybe slightly affected by the limitations of parking, but other than that, I love the premise, the people, the lecturers, and also what the university is offering.
I graduated close to a year ago and I still miss this university of mine. Yes, I know it gave a perception that this place is super fancy with in-​house Starbucks, student managed hotel, A LAKE, spacious and modern designs, fancy dining area and so on, but hell yeah, they are the really awesome things in campus! Try naming another campus that can offer you the same for now. If you can’t then here you go. :)
Lecturers quality are really good here, I’m a business student so I’m speaking from the business school’s quality. Well yes we do have some bozo lecturers who I have a hard time understanding what they teach as they are foreigners with a very strong accent of their country, but apart from that, other lecturers really cared for you and wanted you to excel in your studies.
There are lots of opportunities to take part in clubs and societies and I find that this is the main thing that created campus life. Events are happening almost every two weeks by different clubs, sometimes we also see bazaar happening with vendors from pasar malam, online shops and so on. It was a really good way to allow us to save our time going to the shopping centers to do our shopping. We can shop right after class for it. Obviously it does not mean that you should shop everyday, but some of us who are actually really looking into getting a particular something, it’s definitely a time saving option.
Eateries are located almost every corner of the premise. Most of them are located at the commercial building, and some of them are closer to lecture halls and classrooms, meant for grab and gos.
Facilities are pretty much equipped, 20 over lecture theaters, couple of hundreds of tutorial classes, you will see toilets on almost every block of the building, huge multi purpose hall, experimental hall for performing art, basketball and tennis court and so much more!
Well to be honest, if you can, do your best to get their scholarship as their tuition fee as compared to my year of registration has rose close to a crazy 20%. Lots of scholarships available that can be taken into consideration.
I hope you will enjoy it like I do. :)

So one day, my friends and I decided to visit Taylors Lakeside event. If I’m not mistaken it was called Asàban. A japanese culture event where there would be cosplayers, games and merchandise. Parking was not really an issue since it was during sem break. Walking around the halls of Taylors, I can tell why it is one of the top 5 University in Malaysia.
Indeed, the lake is beautiful, the library looks like a Mph bookstore from the outside (2 floors). The canteen is huge and has a wide range of food though only a few open that day. The gym near the hostel was cool and if im not mistaken, there was a pool on the other side of the gym. The security towards the room are tight which is excellent!
When we reached the event place in the hall, it was huge. Probably, 4 – 5 basketball court huge! I would have wondered how would my life turn out to be if I studied here though…

As a first timer here during the Redbull Papar Wings contest yesterday, I took a mini tour around the campus and I must say, whoa!!! For some silly reason, Frank Ocean’s «Super Rich Kids» just kept playing on my mind as I walked around and gaped.
From numbers of modern designed, comfortable and big study rooms, some with automatic book returning machines, impressive sound-​proofed theater style lecture halls, uncountable cafes and eateries, a big ass lake with swans, tortoise and fishes, apparently there’s a «Fishing Club» amongst the students, multiple-​story library, basketball/​cricket courts, well-​equipped gym, and they even have an indoor swimming pool?! This place is self sustaining and the campus is enormous. And I think what I saw probably was only 50% of the entire place.
My boyfriend was a Culinary student here and he claimed to have enjoyed his student life, learning via and having accessibility to modern technology in the school of hospitality that is equipped with quality and vastness. Only thing would be the heavy crowd especially during lunch hours. Sometimes having to forego a proper lunch due to insufficient time.
Overall, it looks like a great campus but parking seems limited though. But then again, that’s the same with most universities these days isn’t it?

People often tell me that Taylor’s University has the best campus! It’s got great places to eat within the campus! You can smoke easily! Well, it might be true. However, it doesn’t mean a thing. I mean this is a University is it not? I feel the commercial block is useful but overrated and too pricey. It sets a tone of a different type of university. With tons of bazaars and exhibitions, the commercial block is more like a mall now. It’s annoying when you head to the block after class and having to head through heavy traffic just to head to the Cafeteria.
The spacious design of the campus gives plenty of secluded and open areas for students to study. The lake in the middle is more or less clean, and they’ve got swans and turtles. That’s right swans. If you’re thinking «Aww that’s cute!», well think again! When theres swans, theres poop. And theres swan poop all around the lake. You literally have to watch your step. They do wash it off, but sometimes they just don’t get everything .
They’ve got a big library that’s well stocked with books of most subjects. Plenty of sofas, tables and chairs for students to do some work. Presentation rooms, computer labs, chemistry labs and plenty classrooms for almost every course. The campus is relatively huge. It’ll definitely take you awhile to get used to it.
Overall, if you enjoy being outdoors in between classes and if you want easy access to food, Taylor’s Lakeside Campus is perfect for you. Unlike most Uni’s here, they’re smoking area is much more comfortable and wider. But that honestly shouldn’t be a reason to come here. For more information of the academics however, visit the admissions office. Theres ton’s of advisors there ready to convince you to come to Taylor’s.

Probably from your common knowledge or rumors, you may know that Taylors University Lakeside Campus are one of the ‘most well build’ and glorious University. (If you’re local) and yeah. I do agree.
You may think how alluring could Taylor’s be? Having dolphins or something? (NO, It’s an University not Safari) Lol just kidding. They do possessed a serene and appealing lakeside. Plus, they have ducks hanging around. It seems so perfect especially their decorative buildings and breathtaking food but wait till you enrolled in Taylor’s University. You probably think is not as pure and flawless anymore. They might be top 5 in Malaysia but there’s still flaw in Taylor’s University. Oh Well, Nothing stays perfect right?
Besides, they have spectacular and ravishing hall way. They have all kinds of retails like laundries, bakery, food court and countless more. Feel free to visit their estatic lakeside and premises in Taylor’s University. :)

Being more of a tourist spot than a university, Taylor’s University Lakeside is the very definition of consumerism and human interest mixed into one huge land.
You may see perfectly aligned trees and a seaside-​like vibe while walking basically anywhere, but all I see is money being thrown into the pleasure and liking of the investors. I, as a student of the Lakeside campus, can only say that the money could be well spent on parking lots; there is just no way you can find parking if you are to reach the campus after 11am. The food there is no doubt delicious, but never affordable to the common folk, but of course, the ‘face’ has to be given to maintain a certain air or aura that you are indeed ‘from Taylor’s’, the Louis Vuitton of all universities of Malaysia.
Despite the negatives, there are certain pros that set them apart from all campuses. You can find ample spaces for you to hang out in, from the porches near the very large (small) lake to the small chairs in the very cold library, where your peers and you exchange fashion tips and eventually heading to the nearest mall, namely Sunway Pyramid, to shop till you drop. There are, of course, drop dead babes and handsome hunks, all of them vases to the viewers, and toys to the beholders. It is also the perfect place to re-​enact scenes of 90 210, but that would cause a certain stir to our very amazing government, won’t it?
