How to approach Curtin University when you haven't reach it.

Tuesday, 18 June 2013 @ 08:00 | 0 Comment [s]

Lately, I received some SMS, Facebook Chat and calls from people I don't really know asking about my university, especially from the SPM leavers who have just received offer from MARA and Curtin for August intake. For me, personally after I received the phone call from Curtin, I started to google about Curtin in internet.

1. Curtin Sarawak Official Website

I access to this website to get some information and basic view of what I will face in the university. I think I open the website almost everyday before I fly here. Even After several months studying here, I always open this website. For new students, it is advisable to check about the Uni life, housing, facilities and many more in future student page. This page will provide a lot of information for them.

2. Facebook

As I already have friends in Curtin, I always read their statuses and pictures in Facebook. When I read their statuses, I can get some point, how my life will be in Curtin. I could see, they enjoy their life in Curtin hence I am looking forward to see them posting new statuses about what they are and will be doing in campus.

I will also stalk their photos. I can see their photos strolling in the park, at the beach and city. I can also see their pictures in the campus. Hence, I can get some view who are my future friends there. I was trying to avoid culture shock. That's why I prepared a lot.

3. Use your phone

There were some marketing staffs who kept calling me to ask me fill in forms, sending certificates and booking tickets for example. I also did the same. I called them many time. Whenever I have problems or questions to ask, I will give them a call. I also asked my friends a lot.

That's all what I have done before when I don't have any idea what Curtin looks like and what will happen to me when I reach Curtin.

About Me

Hello. My name is Khaizureen but my mother once wrote my name as Dzureen when I was kindergarten, which is actually the combination of Darwis and Khaizureen, where Darwis is my father's name. When I grew up, I wrote my name as Dzureen Darwis in social network or DD in short but nowadays I am writing my real name in social network.

This blog is actually inspired by my mother who is so excited to know that her daughter is going to further her study in Miri, Sarawak and thought that it is a good idea for me to keep a journal. However, I am still writing in mess now, no regular journal or whatever so just random entries updated in this blog once in a while.
