Orientation Day (23rd & 24th March)

At last I’m officially APIIT/UCTI's student!!! *Thumbs up* Basically, I was surrounded by many choices (Taylors, KDU, Informatics & APIIT College) before making a right decision. After much thought, I managed to overcome all my phobias, and I decided to enroll in APIIT/UCTI. Being a part of the Foundation Programme’s student.

I’ve been thinking why I made this decision. Maybe it’s because I’m attracted to the way that APIIT/UCTI trained their students to develop their own independent learning & working skills through the lecturer's professionalism.

I never expected that 24th March till 28th March will is my orientation week. As I heard from most of my friends, their orientation day is just only a day and not a week. Ok… everybody knows, orientation day is just briefing and talks… Not too bad… Some of the briefing was not too boring, there are also some interesting ones. There were lots of funs, when Muhammad Anis, the manager & developer of student services gave us a briefing. The unexpected one was he ordered his staff to buy a birthday cake to celebrate for the two birthday boys on 24th March 2008.

Today is a one day off for all the new comers. After participating the 2 days’ orientation programme, I realized that I’m used to the environment and I’ve made the right choice to further my studies in this college. I’m proudly to comment that APIIT & UCTI is totally different from any other colleges & universities in town. Want to know why? Let me tell you, students in APIIT or UCTI are not allowed to wear immodest attire (T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, slippers) but we are supposed to wear formal working attire in and around the campus. This implementation of this code of conduct is to prepare students well for their role as an IT and Business professional in the work place and to serve students in good stead as a well-rounded student.

I’m now eagerly to receive my student ID on this coming Thursday and my course schedule & time table on Friday. Log into my webpage again on Friday to read more about my orientation week. I’ll end my post here.
