Hello.. dear juniors you are at the correct site...
yes this is it ... this is one which can let u know more about INTEC UiTM which I have been there for a year!! haha...
I would introducevery briefly here about the Uni.. jux tour you around..
try to bring you the best information that i can provide :)
Let me start of with ..

1)Hostel
basically, the hostels are nice.. not to scare you so i suggest that this word should sound nice..haha...
basically for a new batch, the boys will be going to Kolej Cendana,a rather rural area ... and gals will be going to Kolej Cemara/Akasia which is much more convenient and near to the campus.
Kolej Cendana been there a year, I personally feel that the atmosphere is prefect for studying and everything is very nice too. The rooms are clean at least with tiles around and the facilities are very well kept. most importantly is that it is quite new from its refurbishing maybe a few years ago ?? I am not sure too. Here, basically 6 person will share one unit and on every floor till will be four units. Btw, there is two blocks in Kolej Cendana believing to accomodate from 700 to 1000 students. But bascicaly wont be tat crowded. For sleeping bed and cabinet it is prepared and no worries. Just remember to brng ur pad lock tolock your cabinet.
For Kolej Cemara, there are more temptations around as in there are shoping center and market. It is very convenient and no worries in buying household and food as long as you have ur money with you. :) In Kolej Cemara/Akasia, one unit can accomodate 4 person and there are a lot of blocks in this two kolej. I don;t know how many exactly there is together. However, the kolej here is more of like low class one.. not tha well maintained as compared to kolej cendana. more of the old type of apartment style..haha..
watsoever, there is not much problem arise from accomodation as it s provided FOC for scholars :) For those wanted to have air-con rooms, can try to rent a house outside on your own expenses which i am thinking of duing it for the next half of my course :)
Clothes washing can be done urself or sent off to wash on ur own. the washing machine provided in both college require 5x50sen to operate.
there is a gym in cendana and cemara too for guys who like to workout a bit can go to those gyms.. or perhaps can go also to tat one in campus.

2)Food
Food?? no problem.. on campus you can choose from 3 cafes but basically evone like only AUSMAT cafe as the food is freshly from the kitchen :)
For kolej cendana students, Tuesday n Friday there will be pasar malam. You can grab a lot of nice food there. Around that area, not many restaurant or cafe exist. The famous one is Dawood which charge unreasonably for the Nasi Kandar others still ok. you can get breads and household from shops nearby. Petronas Mesra aso provide u a variety of choices of bread and food. There are two ATMs there too for your convenience to withdraw money. For normal day time, go to mamak nearby market to have food especially the chicken rice. quite nice but dun eat too much. the environment may be dirty so i advise u to reduce eating the food thr.
In kolej cemara/akasia, there is plenty of food u can choose from so no worries lah...thr is also a cafe in Cemara. Akasia i m not tat sure.. but one thing i like abt Akasia is that thr is a mini shop at the old guardhouse which make evthg convenient. But then that is mostly accessible by gals only ..hah.a.For badminton players, after a hectic study schedule, play badminton at akasia and buy some food from Bistro is also a good thing. Joggers.. go jog at the park and get urself fit. :)
Giant hyperstore is nearby Cemara so no worries of titbits/ food shortage.haha.

3)Transportation
There shoud be no worries of the transporttation from the place you live to the campus as FOC bus service will be provded by the uni every morning of working days dependng on the schedule.
For traveling to KL City, there are several approaches. easiest way is to ride on a taxi. if not you may prefer KTM there is a KTM station near Cemara but not Cendana. You can take KTM to go KL Sentral and then head tothe destination you want to go. Or else u may like to travel using buses. Public bus and mini bus are available at rm.70 for mini and public rapid is rm1 and rm2. You can reach Kl after taking U80 bus at Seksyen 2.

4)On Campus
Facilities oncampus ??? There are many facilities on campus that you may like to know..Basically there are libraries (one new and one old one used as exam hall), gym, hall, ATM machines, 3 cafes, CC, audio visual rooms, staff room...... etc and for active sports player, there is badminton court, tennis, and some other court still in construction.
Now some pat of the campus still under construction and the walk way is still under progression. The compound of INTEC consist of many blocks. You will be fed up of walking here and there ..
For ur info, the campus is shared by faculties of UiTM students too. Faculty of Music and Faculty of Education are sharing the same place. However, both are believed to be of different entity. :)

That is all i can tell. I think im missed a lot of things but then it depends on your feedback/ questions. :)
I hope you will be prepare to face the new challenge and ll enjoy ur life in Shah Alam thr after :)
Any inquiries can leave in comment or leave in my facebook... or chatbox also can ..
ask anything on INTEC, hostel //etc... I try to answer whatever I can!!!
Good luck n all the best
