Raja Dr. Nazrin Shah Residential College (KK12) — Attraction in Kuala Lumpur

The experience differs between international and local students. This review is written by an international student. There are pros and cons to staying here. All costs of living mentioned here are based on the time this review was written. The review will try to be as thorough as possible to address concerns new students might have.

----Rent Firstly, rent is charged on a per day basis (at around 14 or 15 rm/ day for international students) so check yourself out at the counter when leaving for an extended time. That amounts to about rm 1890 for a semester (excluding the 1 week mid semester break). Possessions can be stored within your room if you intend to leave and return within the academic year (if your roommate is trustworthy it'll be safe). However, if you intend to leave at the end of the academic year (summer holidays) you're required to pack your belongings and place them in a storeroom in the dorms (unsafe, know quite a number of people who lost their belongings).

----The pros and Cons The pros being: proximity to campus buildings and facilities; within a 15 min walk at a brisk pace you could reach the faculties of engineering, law, the library, um central (bus station), chancellery,

buses; it sits by two different bus routes (UM's bus B & MRT's bus T815) that pass by the faculty of engineering, um central, faculty of computer science, and more (except in the morning, busses are sometimes irregular and unpredictable) cafeteria; though the food may not satisfy all taste buds it is rather cheap, it contains a south asian restaurant and a fruit shop (at most, you could have a decent meal for rm20) grocery; has a grocery with basic necessities hot water showers hot water dispensers on every other floor no additional charge for electricity (for muslims) has a prayer area on the 3rd floor, and two mosques 15 mins away by walk for friday prayers

The cons: loudness; there's hundreds (2990 at most, according to its website) of students living here and not everyone has the courtesy to keep quiet, there's also a highway right next to the dorms, rooms close to the highway will be constantly hearing car/bike noises amplified by a bridge design lacking foresight size of room; the room are small (approx. 16 by 11 feet or 4.92m by 3.36m) lacking privacy; rooms are shared by 2 people, you and your roommate will need to be able to make compromises living together to accommodate each other elevators are terrible; undergraduate international students live on the 6th and 7th floors so you'll need to take the elevator very often. There are only 2 functional elevators (at the time this review was written). A lot of the time when the dorms are full you might find yourself stopping on every floor between yours and the 3rd to get to lower floors

----Other stuff The rooms have ceiling fans for cooling, and a balcony the door which is flanked by two jalousie windows made of translucent glass that can be concealed behind curtains. The balocny door is of a translucent plastic that allows a significant amount of daylight into the room (enough to light up the room in itself at day time).

It also has communal bathrooms and kitchens the cleanliness of which depends on your floormates at that time. There has been semesters during which they were spotless and others during which they were quite nasty.

There's a laundry at the basement. It costs rm4/4.5 per 35 min wash. There's also a drier which costs rm4/30 min. There are also 2 washing machines on every other floor which costs about rm3.5/50 min wash but the availability and functionality of these cannot...
