IIUM is Islamic, diverse, beautiful, pleasant, healthy and homely environment. Helpful, kind and amiable people. Never spent a monotonous time. Full of activities, incidents and friendly people. The central Masjid united us all during Fridays. The numerous Musollahs/Suraus helped to pray 5 times in congregation wherever we were. The natural, and even the built, environment are breathtaking and awe-inspiring. I feel a lot of painters, artists, photographers, poets and/or writers can emerge from IIUM. Have to mention about the cafeterias, the convenience stores, shops etc, inside the university. They served varieties of healthy food from all over the globe; one can never get bored of the food here. And the shops had wide assortment of products to choose from, almost everything was within hand’s reach. Overall, enjoyable yet very Islamic, never missed home while studying at IIUM.

The students' residence called Mahallah is super comfortable. One room with 4 compartment and provides privacy. Also a lot of sport facilities here including swimming pool, gym and etc, with separated male n female sport center. Subjects requirements is comprehensive regarding all aspects of life and also religious. My course is not islamic based course, but still I need to take Islamic worldview subjects, etc. Meanwhile most lectures here are very good, inspiring and friendly. Thus I believe that students here were well educated with knowledges and virtues.
