We have briefed you about our campus in the previous post. This time, we are going to give you the next most important information that the new students would be seeking to before they register themselves here; COLLEGE.
Since ours is a city campus, we don't have a lot of colleges like in other campuses. There is only one college for the boys and one college for the girls provided by the UiTM here. So please bear in mind that the spots are very limited and cannot cater to all students. However, fret not for the new students, as almost 80% of them are secured with college facility during their first semester.
But wait, you were told in the offer letter that you are not provided with college? No worries boys and girls, we were too! All you have to do is to come early on the registration day as a lot of students will be competing for the spots. Or else, you might have to find other places stay.
Now, let us give you a brief view about the two colleges here;
Kolej Tun Mamat is the college provided for the boys. It can fill up to 200 students per semester and is located just beside
Medan Selera Tun Ali. Medan Selera Tun Ali is a public food court where students usually buy their food. For the gym junkies, this might excite you as there is also a gymnasium on the first floor of
Medan Selera Tun Ali with an affordable membership price. Unlike girls' college,
Kolej Tun Mamat has the
Unit Kesihatan located
on the ground floor just in case you feel sick and also a court facility for the students to play sports. But worry not for the girls as you are welcomed to use the court as well at any time.

Meanwhile,
Kolej Tun Mutahir is the college for girls. It is located in front of
Seri Melayu Restaurant and is roughly 10-minutes walk from the campus. For your information, there is no cafe inside the college compound but there is a mini mart opened on the ground floor for the students to buy their rations and snacks. Also, by the time we are writing this, there is a burger stall at the very back of the college which opens from 6 pm until 9 pm for those who are hungry and too lazy to go out to buy their food but we are still unsure until when will it be there.

For both colleges, the fee is only RM420 per semester which is much cheaper than most of other places. Each student will be placed in an apartment-like house together with 7 other students. Each house has 3 bedrooms (1 master bedroom for 4 students, 2 normal bedrooms for 2 students each), 2 bathrooms (1 is in the master bedroom and another one is shared by the 4 students who stay in the normal bedrooms), a living hall where the study tables are located, a pantry (no cooking is allowed unfortunately) and a balcony with a very nice view of Melaka river. There are washing machines and a dryer machine facilities on the ground floor of both colleges and there are also water coolers provided on certain floors. The plugs are very limited in each house so make sure you bring your own "aid" to counter this problem. Don't say we didn't warn you, alright.
