Throughout the four-day event, the new students were exposed to introductory messages, welcoming remarks and standards of procedures such as sponsorship, subject registration, introduction to their respective faculties and introduction to the management team. Besides, students were divided to their respective groups and masses for their respective ice-breaking sessions, which plays a pivotal role in making their new friendships in a new environment.

During the last day, our team had went to the scene and interviewed some new students on what they expect from UNITEN. Here’s what some have to say.

 

“First, is to make new friends that would help me in my studies, secong thing is to study as hard as I can and hopefully to achieve the highest grade as I can cause I don’t want to disappoint my parents and thirdly is to get a job as soon as I graduate” – Muhammad Ehsan Baijan bin Mohd Jefri.
